St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Brendan Ryan, sidelined since July 30 after fouling a ball off his left ankle, thinks he’s ready to come back to the lineup tonight here against the Pittsburgh Pirates but manager Tony La Russa has left the eighth spot vacant in his lineup until he sees Ryan run in pre-game warmups. If Ryan needs another day or two, Julio Lugo, who is listed as the second baseman, will slide over to shortstop and Skip Schumaker will play second and bat eighth, where Ryan would have hit.
