Brendan Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals Dealing with Hip Tightness, Day-to-Day Status

Brendan Donovan's day-to-day status could impact the Cardinals' lineup. With a batting average of .328, he is a key player in the lineup. Over the last 10 games, Donovan has maintained an average of .348, making him an important contributor.

If Donovan misses games, Nolan Gorman may see more playing time at second base. Gorman has struggled this season with a .191 average. The Cardinals will need others to step up in Donovan's absence, especially in the upcoming game against the Orioles.
