First pitch is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. (CT) at T-Mobile Park
The Cardinals activated shortstop Paul DeJong on Sunday ahead of their road series finale against the Mariners. To create space for DeJong on the 26-man roster, Taylor Motter was designated for assignment.
DeJong, who spent most of his rehab assignment with Class AAA Memphis, is starting at shortstop at batting seventh in his return to the lineup. Tommy Edman, the Cardinals’ regular starting shortstop, is not in manager Oliver Marmol’s starting lineup after he homered in the ninth inning on Saturday.
Following an offseason spent reworking his swing, DeJong was limited to 13 at-bats during spring training because of a back injury.
