Wong (elbow) returns to lineup for another late-night game against Dodgers

Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong, who has missed some time recently due to a sore left elbow, is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday night's game at Dodger Stadium.

It's Wong's first start since May 20, when he heard a pop in his non-throwing elbow while warming up for an at-bat against the San Francisco Giants in St. Louis.

Wong came off the bench in 11th inning of Tuesday night's 13-inning, 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

As the Cardinals welcome a player back from an injury scare, the Dodgers are adjusting to one.

Yasiel Puig is back in right field, but the teammate he collided with while making a key catch Tuesday night is not.
