Scott will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scott was not in the lineup for the first game upon his recall Sunday, but he's now started four straight contests, with two of them coming versus righties and two against lefties. It's a fluid playing time situation in center field for the Cardinals while they deal with the absence of Michael Siani (oblique), but the speedy Scott looks to be the preferred option at the moment.
