Cardinals' James Naile: Selected by Cards

The Cardinals selected Naile's contract from Triple-A Mempis on Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

With Jake Woodford (shoulder) landing on the 15-day injured list Friday, Naile will make his return to St. Louis. The 30-year-old reliever made seven appearances for the Cardinals last season, giving up five earned runs over nine innings. To make room for Naile on the 40-man roster, Wilking Rodriguez (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.
