Cardinals' Brendan Donovan scratched from lineup versus Yankees due to foot soreness
Donovan had been scheduled to bat leadoff and play second base.
Donovan has been dealing with leg and foot injuries since missing four games after being removed from a game against Toronto on June 10 with a sprained capsule in his left big toe.
Donovan was also held out of St. Louis' contests on Aug. 10-11 against the Cubs with left groin soreness.
Donovan is batting .279 with nine home runs and 45 RBIs this season, but has hit .234 in 46 games since injuring his toe.
St. Louis was already set to play short-handed on Friday as Willson Contreras remained out of the lineup for a second consecutive game with a right foot contusion sustained when he was hit by a pitch from Colorado's Kyle Freeland on Tuesday night.

Taylor Pendrith's first tee shot went way left, causing him to re-hit. Normally, those shots would be mere footnotes by players who aren't really in contention, but at the BMW Championship, the leaders aren't the only ones with a lot to play for.
