Cardinals' Jedd Gyorko: Not in Friday's lineup

Gyorko is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

Analysis:

He will sit after starting 12 straight games, including both games of separate doubleheaders during that span, as Greg Garcia mans third base against right-hander Jose Urena. Gyorko has been on the tear to begin the second half, going 14-for-48 (.292 average) with seven homers, matching his home run output from the first half of the season. It seems likely Gyorko will remain heavily involved once Matt Carpenter (oblique) is back.
