Gyorko will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Gyorko will enter the lineup for the first time since May 2, checking in at the hot corner while Matt Carpenter receives a rare day off. The irregular action probably hasn't helped Gyorko get into much of a rhythm offensively, as he enters Sunday with a 5-for-29 mark at the plate this season.

EDGE Analysis

Since returning from the 10-day injured list April 5, Gyorko has started just one of the Cardinals' 14 games.
