JUPITER, Fla. -- Manager Tony La Russa has posted the lineup for the Cardinals' Grapefruit League opener at Roger Dean Stadium. Lance Berkman is in there. David Freese isn't. Jon Jay is starting in center field rather than Colby Rasmus and Gerald Laird is catching lefthander Raul Valdes rather than Yadier Molina.

Infielder Nick Punto returned to camp this morning after undergoing surgery last week to repair a sports hernia. Adam Wainwright is scheduled for surgery this morning in St. Louis to address a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

Today's 1:05 p.m. EST start against the Florida Marlins will include a designated hitter. Third base prospect Matt Carpenter fills the role.

A run of prospects will follow the 32-year-old Valdes to the mound. Bryan Augenstein, Fernando Salas, Francisco Samuel, Eduardo Sanchez and Blake King are posted to appear in relief.

Here are the lineups:

Cardinals

2B Skip Schumaker

SS Ryan Theriot

1B Albert Pujols

LF Matt Holliday
