MIAMI—The Cardinals have made a significant lineup change for Tuesday’s second game of a series with the Miami Marlins. Matt Carpenter will be at second base and Tommy Edman is in right field, returning to his big-league roots as a utility player.
This mean that neither Justin Williams nor Austin Dean is in the lineup against hard-throwing righthander Miami ace Sandy Alcantara, a former Cardinals prospect. The primary reason is that neither of the right fielders has even been on base in the first four games of the season, with Williams nothing for nine with five strikeouts and Dean nothing for six with four strikeouts, three coming when he gained a start on Monday.
