Victor Scott II DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds. Jose Barrero is drawing the start in center field for the Red Birds and will hit ninth against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. After playing both of the wins in the team's doubleheader on Wednesday in Cincy, Scott will get the day off to rest before a three-game weekend series against the New York Mets starts on Friday. As the team's starting center fielder, the 24-year-old has been productive through the first month, slashing .271/.336/.406 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 28 games played. DFS managers should be looking to stay away from Barrero in the nine-hole. He has appeared in two games for St. Louis but has yet to record a plate appearance.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is not in the starting lineup on Sunday as the Milwaukee Brewers send out veteran left-hander Jose Quintana in the series' finale. While Scott sits, Brendan Donovan, Lars Nootbaar, and Jordan Walker will occupy the three spots in the outfield. Scott has gone 9-for-33 with two walks, four stolen bases, six runs scored, and three RBI over his last 10 games and is now slashing .264/.323/.379 on the season. Scott remains a viable outfielder in deeper league formats. Next up for Scott and the Cardinals is a four-game series on the road in Cincinnati to take on the Reds.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Victor Scott II is out of the starting lineup for Game 2 of the series against the visiting Houston Astros at Busch Stadium on Tuesday. Michael Siani will get the nod in center field and will bat ninth against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Scott is St. Louis' primary center fielder, but he'll get a day to rest after going 3-for-17 with six strikeouts in his last five games to drop his season line to .259/.328/.389 with a .717 OPS. The 24-year-old has one homer, seven RBI, seven runs scored and five stolen bases in his first 54 at-bats. Scott should be back in there on Wednesday as he looks to get back on track with the bat. Siani, who has never faced Brown in his career, will be a low-upside DFS play out of the nine-hole on Tuesday. He has gone just 2-for-9 with two runs scored early on in 2025 as a bench player for the Cards.
