Losing hold of starting job
Jordan is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Brewers.
Analysis
Jordan's playing time has slipped lately, as this is the third straight game versus a righty that he's been out of the lineup and the fourth time across the last seven tilts that he hasn't started. The rookie infielder is just 4-for-28 at the plate over his last 30 plate appearances. Jose Fermin will cover third base for the Cardinals in Thursday's series finale.

Breather in first game
Jordan is absent from the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Analysis
Jordan will likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but he'll begin the first contest on the bench. Jose Fermin is covering third base for the Cardinals in the matinee.

Sitting for second straight game
Jordan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Analysis
Jose Fermin will make a second consecutive start at third base over Jordan, whose grasp on an everyday role appears to be loosening. Before busting out for three hits and scoring three runs in a 17-1 romp Friday, Jordan had gone just 2-for-21 over his prior eight starts. He's slashing .246/.265/.377 overall since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Memphis on June 12.

Beginning on bench Saturday
Jordan is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Cubs.
Analysis
Jordan had started five straight games for St. Louis, and he's coming off a 3-for-5, three-run performance Friday. However, he'll get a breather Saturday while Jose Fermin gets a chance to start at third base.
