Shoulder issues plague Jaime Garcia again. Will Michael Wacha get the call?
Perhaps the Cardinals could use Chris Carpenter in the rotation after all?
Just when you thought the Cardinals pitching staff was chugging along and nothing could stop them, they lose two pitchers in less than a week.

Grand slam brings relief to Cardinals' Freese
ST. LOUIS David Freese has heard from pretty much everyone.
That's how it works when you're the local kid playing for the hometown team. When your swing is sweet, the attention is great. When you're stuck the stinkiest stretch of hitting you've ever had, it can be a little much.

Whether it comes...

Who will be sent down when Mitchell Boggs returns for the Cardinals?
From all appearances, Mitchell Boggs' stay in the minors will not be a long one. Sent down on May 3rd to work on his mechanics (and get his confidence back), Boggs seems to be doing just that. So far he has pitched 5 innings without allowing a run.
Thus, it probably won't be long before the Cardinals call on him again. He's just too good of a pitcher to leave in...
