Bader will be on the bench Thursday against Milwaukee, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bader doesn't sit often, as he'll be on the bench here for just the second time since the start of July. The Cardinals have given several regulars a rest since they clinched a playoff spot Tuesday, so Bader will get his turn here, with Dylan Carlson sliding to center and Jose Rondon starting in right field.
