ST. LOUIS (AP) -Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright will be placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday.
The St. Lous ace injured his right middle finger while pitching in Houston on Saturday. He was examined on Monday and found to have a sprain. It wasn’t immediately clear how many starts Wainwright would miss. The Cardinals said the the move will be retroactive to Sunday.
Wainwright is 6-3 with a 3.14 ERA this season.
Also Monday, the Cardinals announced that three other players battling injuries – pitchers Joel Pineiro and Todd Wellemeyer and outfielder Rick Ankiel – will most likely rejoin the team this week in Cincinnati. The Cardinals and Reds open a three-game series on Tuesday.
