ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals<\/a> placed outfielder Victor Scott II<\/a> on the 10-day injured list before Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees<\/a>.<\/p>\n Scott had an MRI, and it revealed he has a left ankle sprain. He collided with the outfield wall in pursuit of Aaron Judge<\/a>‘s home run in the third inning of Saturday’s 12-8 Yankees victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n Outfielder Nathan Church<\/a> and left-handed pitcher Anthony Veneziano<\/a> have been selected from Triple-A Memphis. Right-handed pitcher Roddery Mu\u00f1oz<\/a> was optioned to Memphis.<\/p>\n Church will start in center and hit ninth Sunday.<\/p>\n Scott almost brought back the Yankees slugger’s first career home run against the Cardinals after going high above the center-field wall with his glove. He landed awkwardly on his left ankle.<\/p>\n Scott has played in 116 games this season. He is hitting .223 with five home runs, 35 RBIs and 31 stolen bases.<\/p>\n Two starters also remain out of the St. Louis lineup: first baseman Willson Contreras<\/a> (right foot contusion) and second baseman Brendan Donovan<\/a> (left foot\/groin soreness).<\/p>\n Contreras was hit by a pitch on the foot Tuesday and hasn’t played since. Alec Burleson<\/a> has started each of St. Louis’ four games at first base since Contreras has been sidelined.<\/p>\n
