Duncan Strains Bicep, Out 6 Weeks

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The St. Louis Cardinals, struggling to find their form this season at 12-15, got a piece of bad news today as Chris Duncan injured himself while working out. Test results confirmed the injury as a strained right biceps, and Duncan will miss about 6 weeks. The injury was bad timing for Duncan, after manager Tony La Russa announced the previous day that Duncan would be getting extended playing time, due to the continued struggles of members in the lineup.

"It sucks, yeah," Duncan said by telephone, "I felt that I was really going to help this team score some runs, and now I'm going to have to sit on the sidelines for a while. But when I get back, I fully expect to contribute and be a big part of this team getting back to the playoffs." Duncan was moved to the 15-day DL, and outfielder Jon Jay was called up from Triple-A to take his place in the lineup. It is expected that So Taguchi and John Rodriguez will get the bulk of the playing time in left field.
