Cardinals recalled OF Shane Robinson from Triple-A Memphis.

Robinson was just optioned down to the minors on Sunday, but he's back now that Jon Jay (shoulder) has been placed on the disabled list. The 27-year-old is hitting .311 (14-for-45) with a homer and five RBI in 23 games with the Cardinals this season. He'll likely share playing time with Skip Schumaker in center field while Jay is sidelined.

Robinson got off to a surprisingly good start at the plate while receiving occasional playing time, and he's a terrific defensive center fielder. In reality, though, he's not much with the bat and is eminently replaceable as an extra outfielder.

Shane Robinson is starting in center field Friday in place of Jon Jay (shoulder).

An earlier report indicated that Skip Schumaker was starting in his first game back from the disabled list, but he'll evidently be on the bench first. Robinson is a fine defensive outfielder and is batting .400/.400/.667 with one homer in 15 at-bats early on, but the reality is that he's not much of a hitter. He could platoon in center with Schumaker while Jay is out.
