HOUSTON — Jason Isringhausen is set to begin his trek back with a minor-league appearance Monday, and while the Cardinals know what awaits their closer, they will let Isringhausen take his time getting there.
"His spot on the club is waiting for him," manager Tony La Russa said Saturday afternoon. "When he's ready, he gets it."
Isringhausen will begin a formal rehab assignment Monday when he starts for the Cardinals' High-A affiliate in Jupiter, Fla. By rule, the righthander has 30 days to complete his rehab assignment, and he could move steadily up the Cardinals' system appearance by appearance. General manager John Mozeliak said there is no scripted schedule in place for Isringhausen.
