Fowler (undisclosed) is starting in right field and hitting eighth in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler, who is slashing .260/.327/.400 with two home runs and seven RBI through 16 games this season, will face righty Chad Kuhl in this one.

Fowler won't start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old was penciled in to start in right field, but he was a late removal from the starting nine. Fowler is a healthy scratch and won't play Wednesday in protest of the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake. Tommy Edman will move to right field while Matt Carpenter starts at third base.

Fowler went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and a walk in a win over the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder' seventh-inning double extended the Cardinals' lead to 6-0 at the time and rang up Fowler's sixth and seventh RBI of the season. The 34-year-old's solid .277/.333/.426 line is an exponential improvement over much of the last two seasons, even as Fowler's current 27.5 percent strikeout rate over 51 plate appearances qualifies as a career-high figure.

Fowler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old has hits in each of his past three games, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Fowler could see more regular off days, with Tyler O'Neill, Dylan Carlson and Harrison Bader all in the outfield rotation for the Cardinals.

Fowler isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a victory over Pittsburgh on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler also struck out two times, but his fifth-inning homer to right field proved to be important in his team's one-run victory. Fowler isn't likely to rank among the league leaders in long balls during his age-34 campaign, though he did set a career high with 19 homers last season.

Fowler (back) was mentioned by manager Mike Shildt as part of the presumptive season-opening starting outfield after Sunday's intrasquad game, Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shildt remarked "we know we're going to run Dexter (Fowler) out there" while also noting he projects Tyler O'Neill and Harrison Bader to join the veteran in left and center field, respectively. Fowler has participated in just four intrasquad games due to nagging back tightness, going 1-for-8 with a strikeout after posting an .097 average (3-for-31) over 12 Grapefruit League games.
