Izturis ditches switch-hitting role: Cardinals SS Cesar Izturis, batting .278 right-handed and .194 left-handed, has ditched switch-hitting for now at the suggestion of batting coach Hal McRae and is batting exclusively right-handed. "His stroke has been better from that side, so I think it makes sense to try it," manager Tony La Russa said. (Updated 07/24/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Izturis was hitless in two at-bats Wednesday against the Brewers before being replaced in a double switch. He has just six hits since coming off the DL July 6. Izturis is a light-hitting infielder that remains in the starting lineup because of his glove. He is best left for NL-only Fantasy leagues. (Updated 07/24/2008).
