Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright lost a no-hit bid in the eighth inning Saturday, but settled for a two-hit shutout in a 3-0 victory over the Rockies.

It was his sixth career shutout and his 12th complete game. Wainwright didn't give up his first hit until Nolan Arenado dumped a single into shallow left-center field with one out in the eighth inning. It snapped an 0-for-50 streak by Rockies' hitters if you include Shelby Miller's brilliant performance from Friday night. Wainwright struck out seven and walked one in the victory and holds a brilliant 2.30 ERA and 55/4 K/BB ratio in 58 2/3 innings over his first eight starts this season. He's looking like a Cy Young contender early on.

May 11 - 5:13 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright gave up five earned runs in 5 1/3 innings but the Cardinals beat the Brewers on Saturday.

It was by far Wainwright's worst start of the season, but the St. Louis offense was relentless and ultimately bailed him out. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and struck out five, but he surrendered a whopping 11 hits. He should be better next week against the Rockies.

May 4 - 7:25 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright tossed 8 1/3 scoreless innings Tuesday as the Cardinals blanked the Nationals 2-0.

Wainwright was dominant all evening, tallying nine strikeouts against one walk and five hits. He nearly registered his second shutout of the season but Cardinals manager Mike Matheny decided to pull him at 113 pitches. Edward Mujica was able to close it out. Wainwright is now 4-1 with a 1.93 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 37/1 K/BB ratio in 37 1/3 innings this season. He'll get the division-rival Reds next.

Apr 23 - 10:07 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright registered his third victory Thursday, holding the Phillies to three runs while striking out four over seven innings in a 4-3 win.

He gave up nine hits and didn't walk anyone. Wainwright actually coughed up the lead on two different occasions, but he finished out the seventh and watched Carlos Beltran put his club up in the eighth. The right-hander holds a 2.48 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the young season, and he's yet to walk a batter while recording 28 strikeouts over 29 frames. Waino looks to be on track to return to being one of the better pitchers in the NL again this season. He has a tough matchup against the Nationals on the road next week.

Apr 18 - 10:27 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright tossed his fifth career shutout in the Cardinals' 8-0 stomping of the Brewers on Saturday.

Wainwright looked excellent all day, yielding only four hits and issuing no walks while racking up 12 strikeouts. He now has a 2.05 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 24 strikeouts through 22 innings (three starts) this season. The 31-year-old right-hander has not walked a batter. It's a good thing the Cardinals locked him up when they did.

Apr 13 - 7:06 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright allowed two runs over seven innings in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Giants.

He gave up seven hits and didn't issue any walks. Wainwright was in control throughout the game and racked up six strikeouts. He didn't show any lingering effects after being hit in the shoulder by a comebacker in his last start. Marc Rzepczynski and Joe Kelly came on late to combine for two scoreless innings in relief.

Apr 7 - 7:35 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright allowed four runs -- three earned -- on 11 hits over six innings in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

He struck out six and didn't walk anyone. Wainwright was cruising along until a comebacker in the third inning struck him in the pitching shoulder. Although he shooed the training staff away and insisted he was fine, his command wasn't nearly as good afterwards, and it resulted in a three-spot in the fourth and another run in the fifth. But, until we hear differently, Waino should be fine for his next start.

Apr 2 - 1:15 AM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright's new five-year, $97.5 million contract extension includes a no-trade clause.

The five-year pact was agreed to Wednesday night and officially announced at a press conference Thursday morning at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida. Wainwright was emotional while thanking the Cardinals organization, his teammates and his family. He will start on Opening Day -- April 1 -- against the Diamondbacks and should be a fantasy ace for many years to come. "Waino" is property of the Cardinals through 2018.

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Cardinals signed RHP Adam Wainwright to a five-year, $97.5 million contract extension.

The Cardinals and the 31-year-old ace had been in talks about an extension all spring, and the deal seemed to gain momentum in recent days. In his first year back from Tommy John surgery, Wainwright posted a 3.94 ERA with 184 strikeouts in 198 2/3 innings in 2012. The workhorse is expected to be even better in his second full year removed from the elbow procedure, and the Cardinals obviously felt the same. He can be targeted with the ultimate confidence on fantasy draft day.

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright "continue to accelerate" negotiations on a contract extension.

There's a mutually understood deadline of Opening Day, but sources from both sides have expressed optimism that an agreement will get done. Wainwright, 31, is currently due to become a free agent following the 2013 season. He's thought to be looking for a five-year deal.

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright's agent met for several hours Thursday with the Cardinals, continuing long-term extension talks.

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the agent, Steve Hammond, "left the meeting with the sense both sides have an interest and an urgency in reaching an agreement." Wainwright is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season. The 31-year-old righty owns a stellar 3.15 career ERA and is now two years removed from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.

Mar 21 - 1:48 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright limited the Nationals to one run and three hits over six innings to win Friday.

Wainwright gave up five runs in his second outing of the spring, but he's excelled in the other three. He seems ready for Opening Day, though he has a couple of more spring starts to go.

Mar 15 - 3:48 PM

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright has been named the Cardinals' Opening Day starter.

It was an obvious choice even before Chris Carpenter had a recurrence of his neck/shoulder issues. Wainwright took a while to get going in 2012 in his first year back from Tommy John surgery, but he was pretty much back to himself by the end of the season and should be a fantasy ace in 2013. The righty will face Ian Kennedy and the D'Backs on April 1.

Adam Wainwright - S - Cardinals

Adam Wainwright struck out six in 4 2/3 scoreless innings Saturday as the Cardinals shut out a Marlins split-squad 2-0.

Cards pitchers fanned 10 Marlins in all. Wainwright gave up two homers and eight hits in a sloppy outing last time out, but he's pitched well in two of his three starts this spring, giving him a 3.48 ERA.

Pos	Role	Name

	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
