Gorman will have his contract selected by the Cardinals and will start at second base Friday against the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

St. Louis hesitated to promote Gorman when Paul DeJong was sent to the minors last week, but the 22-year-old has now been called up for his first stint in the majors. He's one of the Cardinals' top prospects and has cruised at Triple-A Memphis this season with a .308/.367/.677 slash line and 15 homers in 34 games. A decent showing early on and Gorman figures to be in the majors to stay. Tommy Edman, who has been the team's primary second baseman early this season, will now make the transition to shortstop.
