Brendan Donovan In Leadoff Spot As DH On Wednesday
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (arm) is serving as the team's designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Wednesday against right-hander Bryan Hoeing and the Miami Marlins. Donovan isn't going to play the field until after the All-Star break due to a sore right arm that he's been dealing with for a little bit, but he can still serve as the DH until then. The 26-year-old will look to extend his current hitting streak to five games on Wednesday after going 7-for-13 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in his last four games. The counting stats have left something to be desired -- nine homers, 26 RBI, four stolen bases -- but Donovan is hitting a solid .282 (72-for-255) with an impressive .374 on-base percentage in 76 games.
