Taveras is out of the Cardinals' lineup again Wednesday.
Analysis:
Wednesday's absence will mark Taveras' fourth in the team's last five games. He rattled off six straight starts earlier in the month and went 6-for-18 with a homer over that stretch, but it seems manager Mike Matheny is dead set on riding his veterans, namely Jon Jay and Peter Bourjos, to a postseason birth.
