Cardinals' Michael Siani: On bench for nightcap

Siani (elbow) is out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Siani was hit in the elbow by a pitch in the first inning of Game 1 and removed in the fourth frame. The center fielder has been diagnosed with a left elbow contusion, but the Cardinals could opt to give Siani an extended break with All-Star festivities beginning Monday.
