Worth noting

• The Cardinals' home game against the Rangers on June 23 has been selected as ESPN's Sunday Night Game of the Week. As a result, the start time has been pushed back to 7 p.m. CT. This will be the third Sunday night game the Cardinals will play in a six-week period.

• Sunday's game against the Giants has also been chosen for a national telecast. TBS will televise the game outside the Fox Sports Midwest market. First pitch is still scheduled for 1:15 p.m. CT.

• The Cardinals have announced a pair of social media initiatives designed to promote voting for the All-Star Game. An Instagram-based promotion titled 'gram the ballot box will give fans the chance to have their photo on the Busch Stadium scoreboard in place of the player for whom they cast an All-Star vote. Fans can submit their photos by following the team on Instagram (@cardinals) and posting the photo with two hashtags -- #VoteSTL and the designated All-Star hashtag for a player.

The Cardinals will also retweet campaign videos that fans create using the Vine application. The hashtags #VoteSTL and #VinetheVote must be included when the Vine video is tweeted in order to be considered.

• The Cardinals will hold a Social Media Night at Busch Stadium on Tuesday. For $25, fans will get a ticket to sit in the left-field porch and will get access to a pregame question-and-answer session with Cardinals players who use social media. For more details on the Social Media Night events and/or to purchase tickets, go to cardinals.com/socialmedianight.
