Bader went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Marlins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bader drew the start in center field, an occurrence that should remain the norm for the foreseeable future with both Dexter Fowler (foot) and Tyler O'Neill (groin) on the disabled list. The 24-year-old will have an opportunity to build a red-hot start to August, one that's seen him generate three multi-hit efforts on the way to a .364 average (8-for-22) with two doubles, an RBI and four runs over his first six games.

Bader is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Pittsburgh, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bader is coming off a three-strikeout performance Thursday, so he'll take a seat to start the series against the Pirates. The 24-year-old is 4-for-18 with 10 strikeouts over his last seven games, as Tyler O'Neill gets the start in center field Friday.

Bader is not starting Tuesday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals' deadline-day trade of Tommy Pham to the Rays seemed to open up center field for Bader, but it's the newly-recalled Tyler O'Neill who will get the start there on Tuesday. The playing-time split between the pair may take a few games to sort out.

Bader is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals have continued to hand steady starts in the outfield to Dexter Fowler, which has resulted in Bader's playing time taking a slight hit of late. Bader has remained productive in the decreased role and maintains a .279 average to go with six home runs and nine steals in 212 plate appearances this season, so he might be worth holding on to if the Cardinals decide to make a full commitment to him later in the second half.

Bader went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs during a win over the Cubs in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday. He's 3-for-6 with a double in his three games since missing the second-half opener last Thursday with a hyperextended right knee.
EDGE Analysis
Bader's start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader was his first of the season's second half, as he'd come off the bench the previous two games. The promising outfielder continues to enjoy a resurgent July after a lackluster June, as he's now hitting .360 during the current month, and he's raised his season average 18 points to .279 since July 4.

Bader (knee) will return to the lineup for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Bader missed three straight starts after hyperextending his knee in the final game before the All-Star break, though he appeared off the bench in the last two games. He'll start in place of Dexter Fowler on Saturday.

Bader is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis

Bader (knee) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bader was held out of Thursday's lineup as well from the hyperextended knee he sustained against the Reds on Sunday. The severity of the issue remains unclear at this point, but the Cardinals could simply be taking advantage of the All-Star break to give the 24-year-old a couple extra days to recover. Dexter Fowler will bat seventh and start in right field for St. Louis.

Bader (knee) is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Cubs, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bader suffered a hyperextended knee Sunday against the Reds, and although the Cardinals were hopeful he'd manage to play following the All-Star break, he doesn't appear to have returned to health just yet. Dexter Fowler is set to bat seventh and take over in right field with Bader on the bench.
