Fresh of his Wrigley Field launching and two homers and 5 RBIs in Mondays doubleheader, Brad Miller remains in the lineup and has gone up a notch to No. 6. Miller begins at third base as Matt Carpenter relapses to the designated player area they alternated at Monday.
Daniel Ponce de Leon draws the start for the Cardinals opposite Cubs righthander Yu Darvish.
To resolve their bullpen situation for Game 3 of this five-game remain at Wrigley, the Cardinals included Jesus Cruz to the 40-man roster and the active lineup. Jacob Woodford, the 29th male for Mondays doubleheader, was optioned out Monday night, and lefty Rob Kaminsky was optioned Tuesday afternoon. Both can stick around on the taxi squad in Chicago. Either can be activated Wednesday for the doubleheader, depending upon the use of pitchers Tuesday.
