Date: Team: Pos:
Chuckie Fick - R - Cardinals

The Cardinals will recall reliever Chuckie Fick from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

The Cardinals need bullpen depth with Kyle McClellan (elbow) on the disabled list. Fick, 26, has a 3.24 ERA in parts of six seasons in the minors. A corresponding roster move is not yet known.

Kyle Lohse - S - Cardinals

Kyle Lohse allowed three runs -- two earned -- over six 1/3 innings in Friday's game against the Phillies.

He was credited with a no-decision and failed to record a strikeout. Of his 98 pitches, 67 were for strikes. Lohse is the owner of a 2.90 ERA and 1.15 WHIP though his first 10 starts.

Jon Jay - OF - Cardinals

Jon Jay (shoulder) hit off a tee and did some soft toss before Friday's game.

It was his first workout since being placed on the disabled list with a right shoulder sprain earlier this month. The Cardinals are hopeful that he'll be ready to return when he's first eligible on May 30.

Allen Craig - 1B - Cardinals

Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak confirmed he expects Allen Craig (hamstring) to come off the disabled list when first eligible.

Craig took batting practice with the team Thursday and is currently eligible to return June 1. He'll likely split time with Matt Adams at first base with Lance Berkman (knee) on the disabled list. It's not impossible that he could see time at second base, either.

Scott Linebrink - R - Cardinals

Scott Linebrink (shoulder) could begin throwing off a mound next week.

Linebrink is finally showing some progress with his right shoulder capsulitis. If he doesn't have any more setbacks, he should be ready sometime in June.

Lance Berkman - 1B - Cardinals

Lance Berkman will be sidelined 8-10 weeks after having surgery Friday to repair a meniscus tear.

He also had a cartilage tear shaved down, but the important thing is that his ACL didn't need to be repaired, which would have cost Berkman the rest of the season. Now, it appears that he could be ready sometime in August. It's great news for a Cardinals team that's dealt with their fair share of injuries this season. Matt Adams will continue to handle first base for now, but Allen Craig (hamstring) is due back in a week.

Chris Carpenter - S - Cardinals

Chris Carpenter is showing greater flexibility with his right shoulder and could be ready to begin a throwing program sometime in the next four weeks.

Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said back on May 12 that Carp could start a throwing program in mid-June, which is now about three weeks away. Recent reports on the veteran righty have all been positive, but his comeback from nerve issues in his shoulder has been a slow process. He shouldn't be counted on before the All-Star break.

Jon Jay - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said he's hopeful that Jon Jay (shoulder) will be ready for activation from the disabled list when first eligible on May 30.

Jay has yet to perform any baseball-related activities, so it would seem to be a longshot that he'll be ready in five days. But, Matheny's optimism must mean the outfielder is feeling better. It's not clear if Jay will require a short rehab assignment before returning.

Allen Craig - 1B - Cardinals

Allen Craig (hamstring) took batting practice and fielded grounders at second base before Thursday's game.

Interesting. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny has expressed a hesitancy to stick Craig at second base as former manager Tony La Russa did for a handful of games last season, but perhaps he's warmed to the idea. We can't imagine he'd spend a ton of time there, though, as he's a well below average defender there and would be more susceptible to injury. Plus, with Lance Berkman's (knee) season possibly over, Craig is needed at first base. The 27-year-old is slated to return when first eligible on June 1.

Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals

Matt Holliday hit home run number 10 in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Phillies.

It was his only hit, although he added two walks to the effort. Last season, Holliday's 10th homer came on June 28. While his .271 batting average remains more than 40 points below his career mark, Holliday's power display has put him on track to reach the 30-homer plateau for the first time since 2007.
May 25 - 5:52 AM
Yadier Molina - C - Cardinals

Yadier Molina turned in a great performance at the plate on Thursday, going 4-for-5 with a two-run homer in a loss to the Phillies.

He drove home three runs in the game, including an RBI single in the third. Molina's homer off of Joe Blanton in the fifth inning was his sixth of the season, and he's now hitting .314 and has driven home 23 runs. Molina continues to improve at the plate each year, and has cemented himself as one of the most consistent offensive catchers in the league.
May 24 - 11:53 PM
Jake Westbrook - S - Cardinals

Jake Westbrook was pounded by the Phillies on Thursday to the tune of six runs on eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings of work.

Westbrook fanned four and walked three in the brief outing. Thanks to the powerful Cardinals offense however, he did not pick up a loss in the game. Even with the rough outing, he still sits at 4-3 with a 3.38 ERA on the season. He’ll try to put this poor effort behind him and get back in the win column when he takes on the Braves in Atlanta on Tuesday.
May 24 - 11:48 PM
Lance Berkman - 1B - Cardinals

Lance Berkman's right knee surgery has been bumped to Friday due to a conflict with the surgeon's schedule.

A scheduling conflict for a surgery is not something you hear of often, but mistakes happen. Berkman is getting a scope to determine the extent of his knee injury. An MRI showed a meniscus tear but there's a thought that the ACL might also be compromised. The 36-year-old first baseman seems doubtful to return this season.

David Freese - 3B - Cardinals

David Freese went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in the Cardinals' 6-3 win over the Padres on Wednesday.

Freese entered the game in one of the deepest slumps of his career but burst out immediately with an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning. He then cranked a ball over the left field fence in the seventh inning for his ninth home run of the season. The 29-year-old might not be an All-Star, but he should remain a productive fantasy third baseman as long as he can stay healthy.
May 23 - 11:23 PM
Matt Adams - 1B - Cardinals

Matt Adams finished 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's defeat of the Padres.

Adams is now 4-for-14 (.286) with two walks since getting promoted to the major leagues on Sunday. With Allen Craig sidelined until early-June, Matt Carpenter out until mid-June and Lance Berkman likely done for the season, the 23-year-old Adams should continue to see regular playing time at first base in St. Louis. He's worth owning in some deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
