Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran went 2-for-4 with a solo homer Friday in a win over the Rockies.

Beltran now has three straight multi-hit games, improving his batting average from .280 to .308 in the process. Meanwhile, his nine home runs have him tied for fourth in the National League. Speed isn't a big part of his game anymore and his health warrants monitoring, but he continues to age gracefully.

May 10 - 11:04 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran went 3-for-5 with two RBI as the Cardinals edged the Cubs 5-4 on Wednesday.

Beltran has played in 32 of the Cardinals' 33 games this season and hit .302 with eight homers and 21 RBI. It seems likely that he'll get hurt at some point and he appears to be about through as a basestealer at age 36, but he's shaping up as a candidate to go to his eighth All-Star Game this July.

May 8 - 5:32 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran is not in the Cardinals' lineup Sunday.

It appears to just be a day off. Shane Robinson is getting the start in right field in Beltran's place. Matt Carpenter is also sitting out, with Daniel Descalso handling second base.

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran told reporters after Wednesday's defeat of the Reds that he feels great physically.

Beltran missed some time earlier this week with a nasty flu bug but still managed to slug three home runs during the Cardinals' six-game homestand. He's now batting .304 with a .901 OPS, seven home runs and 18 RBI in 27 total games this season. "I feel like my legs are working," Beltran said Wednesday evening. "I feel solid at the plate, and when you feel solid, it translates into confidence as a hitter."

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran (illness) is back in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Reds.

Beltran was limited to pinch-hitting duties on Monday because of the flu. The 36-year-old outfielder is batting .286/.333/.524 with six homers and 17 RBI in 25 games.

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran is not in the lineup Monday due to illness.

Beltran is still a little weak from an illness that he's been battling for a few days. He's likely available to pinch-hit, though, and could start Tuesday. Allen Craig is playing right field Monday, with Ty Wigginton covering first base.

Apr 29 - 6:46 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran homered from both sides of the plate in Friday's 9-1 win over the Pirates.

Beltran had a solo shot from the right side in the first against left-hander Jonathan Sanchez and a two-run blast from the left side in the fifth off right-hander Jeanmar Gomez. This was his 35th career multi-homer game and the 10th time he has done it from both sides of the plate.

Apr 27 - 12:04 AM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Monday evening against the Nationals.

It's just a routine day of rest. Allen Craig will start in right field and Matt Adams will play first base vs. Washington.

Apr 22 - 3:50 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead, solo homer in the eighth inning of Thursday's win over the Phillies.

The Phillies tied the game up in the bottom of the seventh, but Beltran put the Cards up for good with an opposite field line drive off Mike Adams that just cleared the left field wall. Beltran is batting just .250 so far but has two dingers and 10 RBI.

Apr 18 - 10:11 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the Cardinals' win Saturday against the Giants.

Both of Beltran's hits gave the Cardinals a lead, the second putting them on top for good. The 35-year-old hit .269 with 32 home runs last year for St. Louis but eventually wore down as the season progressed. If he can stay healthy, he's still capable of putting up good numbers.

Apr 6 - 7:27 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran, who didn't start Wednesday, went 0-for-4 on Friday and is 1-for-10 so far this season.

One wonders if the Cardinals are doing Beltran or themselves any good by letting him play through his toe injury. He's not running well and he's cold at the plate, so they'd probably be better off with Allen Craig in the outfield and Matt Adams at first. Of course, they have Oscar Taveras available too, but they don't need to go that route yet.

Apr 5 - 7:22 PM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran is not in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Diamondbacks.

Allen Craig will start in right field and Matt Adams will play first base. The Cardinals are likely to feature this alignment often in order to get the 35-year-old Beltran the rest that he needs. Brandon McCarthy is starting for the Diamondbacks against the Cardinals' Lance Lynn.

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran said Sunday that the discomfort in his fractured right pinkie toe is manageable.

Beltran will be in the Cardinals' Opening Day starting lineup on Monday night against the Diamondbacks. "I can deal with what I feel," said the veteran outfielder. "The doctor said it’s not going to get worse, so I just have to go day to day and see how I feel."

Apr 1 - 9:05 AM

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran returned to action on Tuesday and went 1-for-2 with a couple of walks in the Cardinals' 11-4 win over the Mets.

The veteran outfielder had been sidelined with a toe injury. He delivered the liner up the middle that knocked Mets starter Jeremy Hefner out of today's game. Beltran should be fine for the start of the 2013 regular season.

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Adam Wainwright
	2	Jaime Garcia D.L. Jaime Garcia was diagnosed with a 30-40 percent tear of the labrum in his left shoulder. Dr. James Andrews recommended surgery and reportedly expressed amazement that Garcia pitched as well as he did earlier this season under the circumstances. The Cardinals' team doctor will perform the shoulder procedure. It's safe to say that Garcia will not contribute in a meaningful way for the rest of the 2013 season. May 22
	3	Jake Westbrook D.L. Jake Westbrook (elbow) will seek a second opinion next week, likely from Dr. James Andrews. It's certainly not good news after Westbrook claimed to feel fine after playing catch on Friday. He had cut a previous bullpen session short earlier in the week due to discomfort, so there's definitely something amiss with the elbow. The Cardinals were originally hopeful he would miss the minimum 15 days, but at this point there isn't even a timetable for his return. May 25
	4	Lance Lynn
	5	Shelby Miller
	6	Chris Carpenter D.L. Chris Carpenter (shoulder, neck) did not feel good after his latest bullpen session so the Cardinals are backing him off his current throwing program. Carpenter was scheduled to face live hitters for the first time on Tuesday, but that's not going to happen anymore. The 38-year-old right-hander will continue throwing long toss and bullpen sessions until he feels like he's truly ready to take the next step. He has made just three starts since the start of the 2012 season (not including the playoffs) due to nerve irritation in his neck and shoulder. May 25
	7	John Gast Sidelined John Gast left in the second inning of his start Saturday against the Dodgers due to left shoulder tightness. Gast's velocity was down from the first pitch, so it's not surprising to find out that he was dealing with an injury. If he has to make a trip to the disabled list, reliever Joe Kelly or last year's first-round pick Michael Wacha could be options to replace him in the rotation. May 25
	8	Tyler Lyons
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Edward Mujica
	2	Trevor Rosenthal
	3	Randy Choate
	4	Carlos Martinez
	5	Joe Kelly
	6	Fernando Salas D.L. Fernando Salas received a shot Thursday to help the inflammation in his right shoulder. Salas doesn't have any structural damage, but the Cardinals will shut him down for a while and hope the shot helps to speed his recovery along. There's no timetable for his return. May 23
	7	Seth Maness
	8	Mitchell Boggs
	9	Jason Motte D.L. Cardinals transferred RHP Jason Motte from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move is being made in order to clear space on the 40-man roster for John Gast, who will be called up to start Tuesday. Motte is out for the year following Tommy John surgery. May 12
