Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

Goldschmidt is hitless in May and the Cardinals have discussed the possibility of giving him a few days off to clear his head and have him work on his approach at the plate. However, it's not yet clear whether his absence from the lineup Wednesday is the first of multiple days off, or just a one-off matter. Alec Burleson will handle first base in Goldschmidt's stead.
