ST. LOUIS (AP) – The St. Louis Cardinals placed first baseman Matt Adams on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained right quadriceps sustained running on a double on Tuesday night.
Catcher Ed Easley was recalled from Triple-A Memphis before Wednesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.
Adams is batting .243 with four homers and 20 RBIs. He grabbed his right hip area rounding first base after his hit off reliever Vidal Nuno and was replaced by pinch runner Mark Reynolds.
Reynolds will be the principal fill-in at first base. He was batting .250 with three homers and 12 RBIs in semi-regular duty, with 11 starts at first base and three at third base.
The 29-year-old Easley was on the roster for three games from April 10-12 while backup catcher Tony Cruz was on paternity leave. He was batting .295 at Memphis and has yet to appear in a major league game.
