Gorman will start at second base and bat sixth Friday against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The 22-year-old had his contract selected by the Cardinals following Thursday's loss to the Mets, and he'll man the keystone Friday in his big-league debut, as expected. Gorman will start out in the middle of the order, and he should operate as St. Louis' primary second baseman for the foreseeable future with even a decent showing early on. He dominated at Triple-A Memphis in 34 games this season with 15 home runs and a .308/.367/.677 slash line, although that came with a 34.0 percent strikeout rate.
