Cardinals' Carlos Martinez: May only miss one start

Interim manager Mike Shildt said the Cardinals are "super optimistic" that Martinez (oblique) will miss just one turn through the rotation after being placed on the 10-day disabled list, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Langosch also added that Martinez felt the oblique pull during Thursday's game while lunging for a line drive in the fifth inning. If all goes according to plan and Martinez is able to recover quickly from this oblique strain, he will be available to return from the disabled list as soon as July 30 against the Rockies.
