Brendan Donovan Dealing With Rib Injury

Brendan Donovan's rib injury raises questions about his availability in the upcoming game against the Atlanta Braves. With an impressive batting average of .356 and 13 RBIs this season, his presence has been significant for the Cardinals. Donovan's absence could affect players like Lars Nootbaar, who might see more time in left field.

Donovan has started 22 of the 23 games he has played this season. His road performance has been noteworthy, with an average of .420. If he misses the game, Nolan Gorman could also see changes in his playing time, as Donovan often plays multiple positions on the field.
