Brendan Donovan Out Thursday
8 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Brendan Donovan (elbow) has been ruled out of Thursday's home opener against the visiting Miami Marlins after being hit twice with pitches in Wednesday's loss to the San Diego Padres. Donovan's right elbow is the issue after being removed late in the series finale in San Diego. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 27-year-old to be day-to-day. The Cardinals can ill-afford another injury to one of their outfielders, as they already have Tommy Edman (wrist), Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) on the injured list. With Donovan out on Thursday, rookie Michael Siani is drawing the start in left field and batting ninth against Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers. Siani makes for a poor DFS play in the nine-hole in the Cards' home opener.
