Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Scheduled to return Thursday

Wainwright (hamstring) will return from the 10-day injured list to start Thursday against the Marlins, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Wainwright will wind up missing just a single turn through the rotation after leaving his previous start with hamstring soreness. Langosch also reports that Wainwright completed a bullpen session and agility work Monday and fielding activities Tuesday, which presumably sealed the team's decision to activate him. Wainwright owns a 4.46 ERA in 13 starts this season, the exact same figure he recorded in eight starts last year.
