Fowler remains on the bench Friday against the Angels, FOX Sports Midwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler sits for the second straight contest, with Jose Martinez starting in right field on both occasions. Fowler's .753 OPS on the season is a near match for Martinez's .755, which doesn't appear to give a good reason for a switch in the depth chart, though the former is hitting just .171/.229/.342 over his last 25 games.

Fowler went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's 5-0 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler's eighth-inning blast gave the Cardinals a 5-0 lead to really put the game away. It was his eighth home run of the year, matching his 2018 total in nearly 100 fewer at-bats. The 33-year-old has already hit four in June and three in the last four contests.

Fowler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler followed up Friday's three-run homer with the solo shot Saturday to give the Cardinals an early 1-0 advantage, though the lead was quickly relinquished. The 33-year-old started June with a .599 OPS through 11 games, but over the last two nights he is 3-for-7 with two homers, a double, six RBI and three runs scored.

Fowler went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two runs and a walk in a 9-5 victory against the Mets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
This was Fowler's first homer since June 1, and for him this season, that's actually a bit of a power surge. He only had one long ball in April and three in May. His numbers are better than they were in 2018, but considering how bad they were last season, that's not saying much. Now in his second season with the Cardinals, St. Louis is still waiting for Fowler to fulfill his potential. He is batting .243 with six home runs, 19 RBI, 25 runs and four steals in 181 at-bats this season.

Fowler went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a win over the Marlins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler broke out of a 2-for-16 funk that had encompassed his previous six games with Tuesday's multi-hit effort, his second of June. The veteran outfielder's .247/.367/.385 line is markedly better than the career-worst production he generated last season, but Fowler was performing at an even higher level until mid-May. He's subsequently seen a considerable offensive downturn, slashing just .159/.284/.319 across 82 plate appearances over his last 22 games.
