The Chicago Cubs (14-20) will take on their division rival, the St. Louis Cardinals (20-14), on Monday evening, with the Cubs hoping to work their way out of the NL Central basement against the division's top team.
The Cubs will send out their typical lineup against the Cards, but St. Louis will feature a healthy 1B Lance Berkman for only their second game in almost a month. Berkman -- hitting .321/.457/.464 while still looking for his first homer -- will be back in the lineup, while RF Carlos Beltran gets a day of rest.
Here's a look at Monday's full lineups:
#Cubs lineup @Cardinals 5/14: DeJesus RF, Campana CF, Castro SS, LaHair 1B, Soriano LF, Stewart 3B, Soto C, Barney 2B, Dempster P
