Scott is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott had started in center field in each of the last four contests and 10 of the last 11, but he appears headed for a steep downturn in playing time after manager Oliver Marmol said that Michael Siani -- who was activated from the injured list Sunday -- would see the "bulk of the time in center field" moving forward, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. At least for the time being, the Cardinals will keep Scott in the fold in a bench role, where he could prove to be a weapon in the late innings thanks to his speed on the basepaths. Scott has slashed .231/.268/.385 with two home runs, three stolen bases, seven RBI and five runs in 24 games since getting recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 4.

Scott is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Scott will get a day off after he had started each of the previous six contests, reaching base nine times over that span. Lars Nootbaar will shift over to center field and will be flanked by Tommy Pham in left and Alec Burleson in right.

Scott went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Scott has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with a home run and three steals over his last six contests. The rookie outfielder is batting .226 during his current stint in the majors, but that's a significant improvement on his .157 average for the season. He's up to five steals, two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored and seven doubles through 130 plate appearances. Scott will likely continue to handle a starting role in center field until Michael Siani (oblique) returns from his rehab assignment.

Scott went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was the second of Scott's major-league career, both of which have come during his current stint with the Cardinals. He's shown some positives lately, going 6-for-17 (.353) with two steals and three extra-base hits over his last seven contests. Scott is slashing .150/.197/.265 with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored and four steals over 122 plate appearances as a rookie this year.

Scott went 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was unable to build on his three-hit effort from Thursday, but he stole a base for the second game in a row. Speed is his biggest positive, though he's posted a .183 on-base percentage through 115 plate appearances in the majors this year, which is a big reason why he's been limited to four steals. He's been a bit better since his Aug. 4 call-up, slashing .208/.240/.333 over 15 games since he returned to the majors.

Scott went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Scott had gone 4-for-27 over his previous nine contests before putting together a strong effort from the bottom of the order in this game. His steal Thursday was his third of the campaign in 35 games, as his prolific speed (29 steals in 74 games with Triple-A Memphis) has been hampered by his trouble getting on base in the majors. Even with the three-hit effort, Scott is batting .144 on the year with a .411 OPS, one home run, six RBI and eight runs scored over 111 plate appearances.

Scott is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Scott had started seven straight games but went just 3-for-22 with eight strikeouts. The Cardinals will prioritize offense over defense Wednesday, putting Lars Nootbaar in center field and flanking him with Tommy Pham and Alec Burleson in left and right field, respectively.

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.

Scott went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie got the Cardinals on the board in the second inning when he drove a Jeffrey Springs fastball over the fence in right field. It was Scott's first career homer in the majors, and the 23-year-old may be carrying his hot streak at Triple-A forward -- over his last seven games for Memphis prior to Sunday's promotion, Scott was batting .370 (10-for-27) with three homers, two steals, nine runs, 10 RBI and a 6:4 BB:K.

The Cardinals recalled Scott from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old is taking the roster spot of Michael Siani, who landed on the injured list Sunday due to an oblique strain. Scott began the season as St. Louis' primary center fielder but was demoted in April after he posted a .085/.138/.136 slash line in his first 21 games. He has a .620 OPS in 74 games at Triple-A this season, though Scott carried a hot bat in his last seven contests, going 10-for-27 with three homers and six walks. He won't necessarily take over for Siani as the regular starter in center fielder, and Scott is on the bench Sunday against the Cubs as Lars Nootbaar starts in center.
