Daniel Descalso reached base three times and scored two runs against the Dodgers on Sunday night.
Descalso hasn't been playing much of late, and it will likely take more than one good game to change that. Tyler Greene and Skip Schumaker have both outhit him so far.
May 20 - 11:17 PM
Daniel Descalso hit his first home run of the season to help the Cardinals beat the Pirates 4-1 on Friday.
Descalso finished the night 1-for-4 with that solo blast off of Jared Hughes in the ninth inning. He's only hitting .200 (8-for-40) on the season, but with Tyler Greene also struggling perhaps this long ball will give Descalso a leg up in the second base competition.
Apr 20 - 9:55 PM
Daniel Descalso will start at second base on Opening Night Wednesday against the Marlins.
Tyler Greene should still get plenty of playing time on the St. Louis infield this season, but it seems that Descalso will get first crack at the everyday second base gig.
Apr 3 - 4:29 PM
Source:
Jenifer Langosch on Twitter
Daniel Descalso drove in four runs with a pair of doubles to lead the Cardinals to a 6-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday.
With a .288 average, 12 walks and seven extra-base hits in 59 at-bats, Descalso has outshined Tyler Greene all spring. Still, it looks like he'll be a utilityman anyway. We'd still rate him the better option of the two in NL-only leagues.

Lance Berkman
D.L.
Lance Berkman is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday morning to repair the damage in his right knee.
At 7 a.m., to be exact. Berkman has already been diagnosed with a torn meniscus and may also have an ACL tear. More will be known once the procedure is conducted, but we would guess that he's done for the rest of 2012. Matt Adams has taken over at first base for the defending World Series champions.

Matt Carpenter
D.L.
Cardinals placed INF Matt Carpenter on the 15-day disabled list with a right oblique strain.
Carpenter suffered the injury on a first-inning double on Tuesday. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but oblique injuries usually mean more than a minimum stay on the disabled list. Rookie Matt Adams should have the clear path to playing time at first base for now.

Jon Jay
D.L.
Jon Jay's (shoulder) rehab work has been limited to physical therapy thus far.
The outfielder has yet to resume any baseball-related activities and wouldn't offer an estimate on when he'll return. He's eligible for activation on May 30, but it doesn't sound like he'll be ready at that point unless he sees a major improvement soon.

Allen Craig
D.L.
Allen Craig tested his strained left hamstring on Wednesday afternoon with a bit of running.
Craig is aiming to take batting practice Thursday and will look to return from the 15-day disabled list when first eligible (June 1). The 27-year-old was batting .373/.424/.765 with five homers and 19 RBI in just 59 plate appearances before the hamstring injury. The hobbled Redbirds need him back badly.

Chris Carpenter
D.L.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak told FOX Sports Midwest on Saturday that Chris Carpenter (neck, shoulder) could start a throwing program in mid-June.
Carpenter has been progressing well through a series of strengthening exercises and should be ready to take the next step in about a month. He'll still need 4-6 weeks from the time he first begins throwing, so it's looking like a late-July return is the best case scenario. The good news is Lance Lynn has excelled as a fill-in.

Kyle McClellan
D.L.
Kyle McClellan (elbow) won't throw for 6-8 weeks.
McClellan was told this week by Dr. James Andrews that he does not need a second Tommy John reconstructive elbow procedure, but that doesn't mean the right-hander is guaranteed to return this year. He's been diagnosed with a strained flexor pronator and a small tear of his UCL. It's going to be a long road of rehab.

Scott Linebrink
D.L.
Scott Linebrink (shoulder) is currently playing catch from a distance of 90 feet.
Linebrink will stretch it out to 120 feet before throwing off flat ground. The hope is that he'll be ready to throw off a mound by the Cardinals' current seven-game homestand. The veteran right-hander has been on the disabled list all season with right shoulder capsulitis.
