Hunter Dobbins is starting tonight for the St. Louis Cardinals, per Cardinals beat reporter Derrick Goold.
Goold posted the lineup alongside the news, though the opponent and game time were not specified in the report. What is clear is that Dobbins gets the ball — a notable data point for a Cardinals rotation that has cycled through several arms in recent days.
The rotation context
The Cardinals have leaned on a rotating cast of starters this week. Michael McGreevy drew the start in Thursday's series finale, and Kyle Leahy took the ball earlier in that same series. Dobbins now steps in for what appears to be the next turn.
What we don't know yet
The full lineup Goold posted was not reproduced in the report, so the batting order and any notable inclusions or absences remain unaddressed here. JJ Wetherholt, who was hit by a pitch on the hamstring during a recent series and examined by training staff, is one name worth monitoring as lineups take shape — though his status for tonight was not addressed in this report.
