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

Yadier Molina - Not starting TuesdayMolina will sit Tuesday against the Royals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
ImpactMolina had been scheduled to sit Monday against the Pirates, but that game wound up getting rained out. He'll wind up getting two days off in a row, as Andrew Knizner is again scheduled for his season debut Tuesday.

Ben Gamel - On bench TuesdayGamel will sit Tuesday against the Cubs.
ImpactGamel started the first three games of the season in left field but will hit the bench against lefty Drew Smyly here. He started against southpaw Steven Matz on Sunday, however, indicating that he may have more than just a platoon role. Jake Marisnick will take over in left field Tuesday.

Daniel Vogelbach - Sits against another leftyVogelbach will remain on the bench Tuesday against the Cubs.
ImpactVogelbach led off and served as the designated hitter against a pair of righties to open the season but has now sat against two straight southpaws, including Tuesday's starter Drew Smyly. He owns a career wRC+ of 46 against lefties compared to a 117 wRC+ against righties, so that usage pattern seems likely to continue. Michael Chavis will be the designated hitter this time around.
