• Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Undergoes elbow procedure Tuesday

  13D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Wainwright posted on his personal Twitter account that the arthroscopic right elbow procedure he underwent Tuesday went according to plan. Since Wainwright's procedure was just a scope, it's not expected that his recovery timetable will linger into the spring, allowing him to enter Cardinals camp at full strength. Wainwright was bumped to the bullpen in September upon being activated from the 10-day disabled list before being shut down for good with the elbow issue, but the 36-year-old will prepare for a starting role heading into 2018. He'll try to bounce back after the worst season of his career, during which he compiled a 5.11 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 123.1 innings.

• Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: To undergo elbow scope

  16D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Wainwright will undergo a scope procedure on his right elbow Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Wainwright was bothered by an elbow ailment late in the season and will undergo a minor procedure to trim some of the cartilage in his injured elbow. The surgery carries with it a six-week recovery time, David Wilhelm of the Belleville News-Democrat reports, but the veteran hurler will have plenty of time to mend prior to next season's spring training.

• Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Officially shut down

  17D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Wainwright (elbow) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports. This had been talked about after Wainwright saw a dip in velocity last week in his first relief appearance of the season, and now it's official. Wainwright had just returned after missing more than a month with an elbow impingement. The 36-year-old endured a tough season, and while he should be back in the rotation next spring, Wainwright shouldn't be treated as much more than an endgame flier in mixed leagues.

• Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Could be shut down for season

  Wainwright experienced decreased velocity while making his first relief appearance of the season Saturday against the Pirates and may not pitch again this season, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Wainwright previously saw his velocity tail off while he was still starting in August and was later diagnosed with a right elbow impingement, resulting in his placement on the 10-day disabled list. The Cardinals will wait and see how he responds to a few days of rest before rendering a verdict on Wainwright's status for the remainder of the season, but even if he's cleared to pitch again, he likely won't be turned to in higher-leverage scenarios. Wainwright hasn't ruled out undergoing a surgical procedure in the offseason to trim cartilage off his elbow, but that likely wouldn't affect his availability for the beginning of spring training.

• Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Activated from DL, headed to bullpen

  27D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Wainwright (elbow) was activated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Reds. As expected, Wainwright will rejoin the Cardinals ahead of their series opener with the Reds. The 36-year-old struggled out of the rotation prior to injuring his elbow, compiling a 5.12 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 23 starts, so the Cards will transition him to a bullpen role for the remainder of the season. Jack Flaherty will remain in the rotation in his place.
