Mather recalled after Cards put Duncan on DL
07/22/2008
The nagging pain in the neck outfielder Chris Duncan has been playing with and through for several games became too much to tolerate late Monday night.
The Cardinals placed Duncan on the 15-day disabled list with a pinched nerve in his neck Tuesday and prescribed the left fielder rest and treatment. To take his place on the roster and retain a power presence on the bench the club recalled Joe Mather from Triple-A Memphis.
Duncan "said he was having all kinds of pain," manager Tony La Russa said before Tuesday’s game against Milwaukee. "I knew he was having issues … but it was getting progressively worse."
