Hitting bench Wednesday
OFSt. Louis Cardinals
September 3, 2025
Church is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
After starting in each of the last five games, the left-handed-hitting Church will head to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs toes the rubber for the Athletics. Church is slashing just .154/.227/.256 in 46 plate appearances since getting called up from Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 17, and his playing time could tail off in September after the Cardinals reinstated Victor Scott from the injured list earlier this week.
