Fermin was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Fermin was initially penciled in to start at second base for the injured Brendan Donovan (groin), but the latter was cleared to play shortly before Tuesday's contest and took Fermin's place in the lineup. The 26-year-old has done well while serving as infield depth this season, slashing .315/.403/.463 with nine RBI, four runs scored and two steals through 63 plate appearances.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Demoted with Arenado returning
Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned Fermin to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
With St. Louis bringing back Nolan Arenado (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list, Fermin was an expendable piece in the Cardinals infield. After receiving a promotion from Memphis on Saturday, Fermin appeared in one of the Cardinals' final two games of the series in Milwaukee over the weekend, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Swipes base in win
Rotowire
Fermin went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and one RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Brewers.
The St. Louis infielder tallied his second steal of the season, taking second off Milwaukee starter Jose Quintana in the second inning. Fermin was subsequently caught stealing when trying to nab home later in the frame. Fermin, who is now slashing .298/.389/.404 in 55 total plate appearances, is in a bench role currently for the Cardinals. He could become an intriguing fantasy option for batting average and speed since he hit .305 with 20 steals in 289 Triple-A plate appearances this season.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Set to be recalled
Rotowire
Fermin will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday to take the roster spot vacated by Masyn Winn (knee), Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fermin was just sent down Friday to accommodate the return of Brendan Donovan, but he'll rejoin the roster a day later after the Cardinals decided to shut Winn down for the season. While Fermin could see the occasional rep at shortstop while Winn is shelved, he'll likely operate mostly as a reserve infielder in the final weeks.
