Church was out of Friday's lineup in Milwaukee due to lingering soreness in his foot, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Church fouled a ball off his foot during the Cardinals' series in Pittsburgh earlier this week. He was able to appear off the bench as a pinch hitter, so Church could be back in the lineup as soon as Saturday. Victor Scott started Friday in center field in Church's place, going 1-for-3 at the plate.
