Ryan Jackson is starting at shortstop on Thursday night against Cincinnati left-hander Tony Cingrani. | ||||||
Jackson, promoted on Tuesday, hit .278 with a .352 on-base percentage at Triple-A Memphis, but he mashed against southpaws, batting .331 with a .397 OBP. That skill is likely to get his name in the lineup over Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso with a lefty on the mound -- at least initially. A nice performance tonight would certainly help Jackson's argument. | ||||||

Ryan Jackson could "definitely be in the mix," to draw starts at shortstop, according to Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. | ||||||
Jackson hit .278 with a .352 on-base percentage at Triple-A Memphis and was promoted when rosters expanded. St. Louis' current shortstop tandem, featuring Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso, isn't producing at the dish, which may provide an opening for Jackson, who isn't an elite defender like Kozma but would slot nicely into some sort of platoon. Jackson tortured Triple-A southpaws this season, batting .331 with a .397 OBP. | ||||||
