Cardinals' Brendan Donovan Scratched From Game With Foot Soreness

St. Louis Cardinals All-Star Brendan Donovan was scratched from Friday's game against the New York Yankees due to left foot soreness, where he was scheduled to bat leadoff and play second base. This continues a pattern of leg and foot injuries for Donovan, who has been dealing with issues like a sprained big toe and groin soreness since June 10. Since injuring his toe, his batting average has dropped significantly to .234 in 46 games, though he maintains a .279 season average with nine home runs and 45 RBI.
