That's a right shoulder problem, he should be listed as day to day I believe

[Sberl]

And the first player to go in the DL is Rincon, 15 days for arm problems. Cards call John Gall as a replacement, here's the story

Skip Schumaker is in Memphis, with the Redbirds...his place is taken by Falkenborg.

Ponson was placed today...










to the 15-day DL. GRR...just when he started getting good, he may be out for a few weeks. And looks like Rincon is out for the season with season-ending surgery. LOVELY.

[Sberl]

Yes, Ponson on 15 days DL, Bigbie is back and Johnson joins the team. The rotation will be a 4-man rotation, so said La Russa some days ago. I think Wainwright will get at least a start.

What's happening with Bigbie?
I haven't heard anything about him since he was injured before the season started.
