Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Still out of lineup
Donovan (toe) isn't part of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

The 28-year-old participated in a light pregame workout Thursday and was said to be feeling "a lot better." Nolan Gorman will bat seventh and play second base in place of Donovan.
