Peralta is not in the Cardinals starting lineup on Friday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This looks to be just a regular day off for Peralta, who is hitting .278 over his past 10 games. Greg Garcia will get the start at shortstop for St. Louis on Friday. Peralta should be back in the lineup as the Cardinals take on Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs on Saturday.
