Donovan (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday due to a foot infection, and he'll remain on the bench for Sunday's series finale. Donovan will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recover ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Reds. Jose Fermin is making another start at the keystone for St. Louis.

Donovan is sitting out Saturday's game against Seattle due to an infection in his foot, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Oliver Marmol said Donovan's infection makes it painful to put pressure on his foot, but the team is labeling him as day-to-day for the time being. Jose Fermin is slated to start at second base Saturday and would likely continue to do so if Donovan needs to miss any additional games.

Donovan isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Saturday's game versus Seattle, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
An 0-for-4 performance Friday snapped Donovan's seven-game hitting streak, during which he went 10-for-28 with a home run, four RBI and six runs scored. His absence Saturday will put Jose Fermin at the keystone for St. Louis.

Donovan went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Donovan was one of four Cardinals to log three or more hits in the explosive team performance. He's gone 10-for-29 (.345) over his last seven games, earning a pair of three-hit efforts in that span. Donovan is now at a .266/.330/.398 slash line, 11 home runs, 61 RBI, 57 runs scored, 29 doubles, two triples and four stolen bases over 130 contests. He should see steady playing time at second base down the stretch with the Cardinals committing to Jordan Walker seeing everyday at-bats in the outfield.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Donovan entered Monday just 1-for-18 over his previous five games. He was steady at the plate, though he had few opportunities to help in run production after a poor showing from the heart of the Cardinals' lineup. Donovan has hit .272 (22-for-81) in August and now sports a .266/.331/.393 slash line through 124 contests overall. The utility man has added 10 home runs, 56 RBI, 52 runs scored, 27 doubles, two triples and four stolen bases. Since Nolan Gorman was sent down to Triple-A Memphis, Donovan has been the Cardinals' primary second baseman.

Donovan went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
He took Jorge Alcala deep in the sixth inning, snapping a 27-game homerless drought. Donovan has remained a fixture in the Cardinals' lineup this season, but the results have been less than stellar -- the 27-year-old is slashing .266/.333/.393 with 10 home runs, four steals, 50 runs and 56 RBI in 121 contests.

Donovan went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Donovan has five multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games, batting .326 (14-for-43) in that span. He struggled just after the All-Star break, but he's at least making consistent contact again, though just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. For the season, Donovan is slashing .269/.335/.393 with nine home runs, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases across 110 contests.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Donovan's hitting tailed off late in July, as he ended the month in a 4-for-29 (.138) rut. He's now 4-for-11 over three contests in August, though he hasn't posted an extra-base hit since July 20. Donovan has seen most of his playing time in left field this year, but he's also starting to get more run at second base with outfielder Tommy Pham hitting the ground running in his return to St. Louis while Nolan Gorman is in the midst of a slump. For the season, Donovan is slashing a fine .267/.333/.392 with nine home runs, three stolen bases, 52 RBI, 46 runs scored, 22 doubles and a triple over 105 contests.
