Second straight start in left field Dickerson will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson has primarily been deployed as part of a platoon at designated hitter with Albert Pujols this season, but the latter will now pick up his second straight start in left field. With Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) on the injured list and Dylan Carlson (hamstring) at risk of joining him there, Dickerson could be in store for a near-everyday role in the corner outfield in the short term.

Sits after three-strikeout game Dickerson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact Dickerson picked up his second straight start in Wednesday's 11-4 loss, getting the nod in left field over the slumping Tyler O'Neill. He went hitless while striking out three times in four at-bats, dropping his season average to .185. Neither O'Neill (.193 average) nor Dickerson is making a strong case for an everyday role, so manager Oliver Marmol could be inclined to opt for a rotation in left field and designated hitter until a hot bat emerges. Albert Pujols will enter the lineup Thursday while both O'Neill and Dickerson are on the bench.

Sitting Thursday Dickerson is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Orioles, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson started at designated hitter Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with a double and run in the 10-1 win over the Orioles. Paul Goldschmidt will slide into the designated hitter role while Albert Pujols enters the lineup at first base and will bat fifth as the Cardinals try to take the rubber match Thursday.

Not starting Saturday Dickerson isn't starting Saturday against the Giants.

On bench Thursday Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Even though right-hander Mauricio Llovera is on the mound for San Francisco on Thursday, Dickerson will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Juan Yepez will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

MAY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against southpaw Dickerson isn't starting Wednesday against Kansas City, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson took a seat against a right-handed pitcher in Tuesday's series opener, but his absence from the lineup against southpaw Kris Bubic is less surprising. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup.

MAY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Idle against righty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Dickerson typically handles the strong side of a platoon at designated hitter, but he'll take a seat Tuesday in favor of the righty-hitting Albert Pujols even with Kansas City bringing a right-hander (Brad Keller) to the mound. Dickerson's move to the bench may just be a byproduct of the Cardinals wanting to find more work for Pujols, who has received only 20 plate appearances in seven games over the past two weeks.

MAY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Dickerson isn't starting Friday against the Diamondbacks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dickerson went 3-for-7 with a run and three RBI over the last two games but will get a breather with left-hander Madison Bumgarner starting for Arizona. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

APRIL 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against righty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dickerson typically serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter against right-handed pitchers like the Mets' Chris Bassitt, but he'll take a seat with Paul Goldschmidt getting a day out of the field. Brendan Donovan will pick up his first MLB start at first base while Goldschmidt serves as the DH.

APRIL 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Dickerson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Impact Dickerson started the first two games of the series and went 2-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored, but he'll head to the bench with lefty Nick Lodolo starting for the Reds. Albert Pujols will bat fifth as the designated hitter Sunday.

APRIL 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Thursday's lineup Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson has hit just .133 with three RBI, two walks and two strikeouts this season, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games, even though right-hander Pablo Lopez is on the mound for the Marlins. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

APRIL 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Tuesday Dickerson will be on the bench Tuesday against the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Albert Pujols will get the start against lefty Jesus Luzardo. Dickerson hasn't started against any of the three southpaws the Cardinals have faced this season and has been in the lineup against just three out of six righties.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

On bench Friday Dickerson isn't starting Friday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Dickerson will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game, even with right-hander Freddy Peralta starting for Milwaukee. Lars Nootbaar will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Not starting Thursday Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Even though right-hander Brandon Woodruff is on the mound for the Brewers on Thursday, Dickerson will take a seat after going 1-for-8 with an RBI and two strikeouts in his first two appearances of the season. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

APRIL 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against lefty Dickerson will sit Tuesday against lefty Daniel Lynch and the Royals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The Cardinals gave Albert Pujols the honor of an Opening Day start, even though it came against a righty, but since then the team has gone with Dickerson against righties and Pujols against lefties. If that setup continues going forward, Dickerson could potentially start the next four games, as the Brewers are expected to face right-handers in all four.

APRIL 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Monday Dickerson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson will take a seat for the second time in the four-game series after going 1-for-8 with an RBI between starts Friday and Saturday. He still appears locked in as the Cardinals' primary designated hitter, as the lefty-hitting Dickerson is expected to be the team's main option against right-handed pitching, while the lefty-hitting Albert Pujols picks up starts versus lefties. Both Dickerson and Pujols will rest Monday, however, with manager Oliver Marmol electing to give fourth outfielder Lars Nootbaar a look in the DH role against Pirates righty Zach Thompson.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus righty Dickerson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Dickerson is expected to fill the larger portion of a platoon at designated hitter this season with the righty-hitting Albert Pujols, but it's the latter who will be in the Opening Day lineup with right-hander JT Brubaker on the bump for Pittsburgh. Manager Oliver Marmol's decision to insert Pujols into the lineup may just be designed to extend the future Hall of Famer's streak of Opening Day starts to 22, while also allowing the 42-year-old to get a warm reception from the home crowd as he begins his second stint in St. Louis. Dickerson's fantasy managers shouldn't panic too much about his absence from the lineup against a righty.

He slashed .271/.326/.408 with six homers, 43 runs, 29 RBI and six stolen bases across 109 appearances between the two clubs and will compete with Tyler O'Neill for playing time during spring training.

Sits against lefty Dickerson is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact As usual, Dickerson is relegated to the bench with a southpaw starting for Baltimore. Given the importance of the game, however, he figures to replace starting right fielder Randall Grichuk if the Orioles bring in a righty reliever at some point.
