Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright will be placed on the disabled list Tuesday with a sprained finger, the team announced Monday evening. Wainwright met with team doctors Monday and rest was prescribed for the injury that forced him to leave Saturday's start early. According to a release from the team Wainwright will be re-evaluated later this week to see if rest and ongoing treatment will permit him to begin throwing again.
The team also announced that Todd Wellemeyer (elbow) will return to the team's starting rotation when they return home to face Philadelphia this weekend. Joel Pineiro (groin) will be reactivated from the disabled list sometime this week, according to team officials. And outfielder Rick Ankiel (knee) has been cleared to play Tuesday in Cincinnati.
