 Todd Wellemeyer-S- CardinalsFeb. 9 - 4:02 pm et
Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said that the club has "no interest" in free agent right-hander Todd Wellemeyer, reports Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.
The Rockies were floated as a possibility in recent weeks, but he'll have to find employment elsewhere. Wellemeyer, 31, struggled with shoulder problems last season, posting a 5.89 ERA and 1.77 ERA in 122 1/3 innings for the Cardinals. Anything more than a minor league contract with a Spring Training invite would be a surprise.

The Giants have offered a minor league contract to free agent righty Todd Wellemeyer, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Wellemyer has also attracted interest from the Mets and Rockies in recent weeks. The 31-year-old batted elbow issues last season and finished with an ugly 5.89 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 122 1/3 innings for the Cardinals. He told a St. Louis radio station last week that he is in great physical shape.

Todd Wellemeyer said Thursday that the Mets, Rockies and Giants have shown interest and that he expects to sign in the next three days.
It's doubtful he lands a contract worth over $1 million or a guaranteed spot in any starting rotation. The 31-year-old compiled a 5.89 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 122 1/3 innings with the Cardinals last season while struggling with elbow issues. He told a St. Louis radio station Friday that he's in great shape, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a less-than-inspiring pitcher.

According to Tracy Ringolsby of FOXSports.com, the Rockies have considered signing right-hander Todd Wellemeyer.
The starting rotation appears set in Colorado, so this would strictly be for depth in the event of injury, or if Jeff Francis suffers a setback in his return from shoulder surgery. Wellemeyer, 31, struggled with elbow injuries of his own last season, compiling a 5.89 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 122 1/3 innings with the Cardinals.

John Smoltz will not make his scheduled start against the Marlins on Monday due to shoulder tendinitis.
Smoltz is expected to miss just one start, with Todd Wellemeyer taking his turn in the rotation. Smoltz is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in four starts since joining the Cardinals.

Cardinals activated RHP Todd Wellemeyer off the 15-day disabled list.
Wellemeyer (elbow) will be used in long relief and mop-up duties. The impending free agent could pick up a couple starts the rest of the way, but shouldn't be considered a fantasy option.
