Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
After closing out the weekend series with the Dodgers with three consecutive starts, Cave looked to have moved into a strong-side platoon role in right field. However, the Rockies have since sent him to the bench for two straight games against right-handed pitchers, with Jordan Beck and Sam Hilliard having both picked up starts at the position. Rather than leaning on one player, Colorado may prefer to take a three-headed approach in right field over what's left of the season.
