Siani (ribs) will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Siani left Saturday's 9-4 win over the Giants with sore ribs and didn't play in Sunday's 5-3 win in the series finale, but the day off was all he needed to shake off the injury. The 24-year-old outfielder and his teammates will match up against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

X-rays on Siani's ribs came back negative after he left Saturday's 9-4 win following a diving catch, but the Cardinals will err on the side of caution and hold him out of Sunday's series finale.

Siani went 0-for-2 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Siani twice got aboard on fielder's choices, and he was able to notch a steal each time. He's picked up three thefts over his last six games and now has nine steals on 12 attempts this year. The outfielder is slashing a middling .214/.258/.290 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored, three doubles and one triple over 164 plate appearances. Siani has maintained his place in the Cardinals' lineup primarily for his defense, and his speed is a positive even though he doesn't get on base frequently.

Siani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Siani opened the scoring with a fifth-inning homer off Miami starter Braxton Garrett. Siani has hit safely in eight of his 15 games in June, but he hasn't posted a multi-hit effort since May 20. The outfielder is up to two homers, 10 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .210/.257/.283 slash line through 157 plate appearances. Siani sat out against the last two southpaws the Cardinals have faced, so he appears to be slipping into a strong-side platoon role in center field, with Dylan Carlson picking up at-bats versus lefties.

Siani is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight day he'll begin the game on the bench against a lefty, although Siani did enter Friday's contest as a defensive replacement. Dylan Carlson will patrol center field again for the Cardinals on Saturday.

Siani went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Siani is batting just .207 (6-for-29) over 12 games in June, which is right in line with his .206 average for the season. He's added seven steals, one home run, nine RBI and 16 runs scored over 148 plate appearances. Siani has become the Cardinals' primary center fielder over Dylan Carlson, and he should remain in that role with Lars Nootbaar (oblique) likely to be out for at least another week.

Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Siani will take a seat Saturday despite the Rockies sending out right-hander Ryan Feltner. Brendan Donovan, Dylan Carlson and Alec Burleson will start across the outfield for St. Louis.
