August 4, 2025 5:44 PM : Donovan (personal) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Dodgers.
Analysis: Donovan had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Padres due to a family emergency, but he has rejoined the Cardinals and is ready to go for Monday's series opener in Los Angeles. The All-Star has been scuffling at the plate lately, going 2-for-26 over his last 30 plate appearances.
