Cardinals' Dexter Fowler: Scratched from Monday's lineup

Fowler (illness) was a late scratch from Monday's lineup, Ben Fredrickson of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

The Cardinals leadoff man reported to the clubhouse Monday afternoon with the intention of traveling with the team and starting later that night. However, he wasn't feeling well and did not board the team bus. Harrison Bader replaced him in the outfield Monday night, and with the team off Tuesday, the hope is Fowler will be ready to go by Wednesday afternoon's home game against the Nationals.
