Cardinals rest Arenado, Contreras and Goldschmidt in series finale vs Cincinnati Reds

First pitch is scheduled for 11:35 a.m. at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark

The Cardinals will go without all of their stars in the series finale with the Cincinnati Reds, opting to rest Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Willson Contreras by leaving them out of the starting lineup. Today's lineup is the first time this season that the three have all been out of the starting nine simultaneously. The move results in one of the more unique lineups the Cardinals have utilized this season.

Brendan Donovan, Alec Burleson, and Andrew Knizner will serve as the understudies for the three stars.
