Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Gets injection for injured wrist

Cardinals manager Carlos Marmol said that Walker will not swing a bat for a few days after being given an anti-inflammatory injection Wednesday in his injured left wrist, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Walker tried to take swings off a tee Monday but had to stop due to continued soreness in the wrist. He underwent additional imaging after that setback, and no structural damage was found. The hope is that the shot will knock out the inflammation in Walker's wrist and that he will be able to ramp up workouts again soon. The outfielder will not be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sunday.
