Lucroy will start at at first base in Thursday's game against the Cardinals, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.

Analysis:

Manager Craig Counsell wants to give Lucroy a break from catching, but still keep his bat in the lineup, so he will move him from behind the plate to first base Thursday afternoon. Lucroy will still bat cleanup like he has in every game he has started this season.
