Saggese among Cards who could see more time

NATIONAL LEAGUE
St. Louis Cardinals
NEWS: 2B/OF Brendan Donovan (groin), OF Victor Scott II (ankle) land on the IL.
IMPACT: High
BHQ SPIN: Donovan’s (-15%) sore groin finally placed him on the injured list, as the club waited it out for as long as they could. INF Thomas Saggese (+10%) looks to pick up much of the vacated work, with recent recall INF José Fermín (+5%) expected to handle some reps as well. Scott (-5%) has an ankle sprain and hopes to return after the minimum stay since he appears to have avoided any structural damage. OF Nathan Church (+5%) was promoted to take Scott’s place on the active roster and should see the bulk of centerfield work until Scott returns.
