Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak indicated Friday that Scott making the Opening Day roster remains unlikely even with Tommy Edman (wrist) and Lars Nootbaar (ribs) injured, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
While Mozeliak didn't totally dismiss Scott's inclusion on the roster when the possibility was raised, he said Dylan Carlson and Alec Burleson would receive starter's reps in the outfield for the time being. The chances of Scott getting a look could increase if the absences of Edman and Nootbaar last longer than expected, but for now it doesn't appear the team is expecting either player to miss much time. Scott is 3-for-16 with two stolen bases so far this spring.
