Cards news: July 2 -- RHP Brock Moore back on IL with ankle injury
The St. Louis Cardinals have placed right-handed reliever Brock Moore on the 15-day injured list after he suffered an ankle injury while pitching in a 9-1 victory over Pittsburgh on June 30.
Signed as a free-agent in the off-season, the 35-year-old Moore had just spent four weeks on the IL with a shoulder injury.
After a short rehab at AAA Memphis, Moore was promoted only to get hurt again in his very first outing.
This time with an ankle injury which is expected to sideline him for up to eight weeks.
Moore has not been very effective in the time he has been able to pitch for St. Louis going 1-2 with a 7.98 ERA in 18 games.
Hector Montangnana, 22, will take his place on the roster.
In 25 games at AAA Memphis, the right-hander has gone 1-0 with two saves and a 2.15 ERA in 25 games.
He also has pitched in two games for St. Louis, compiling a 13.50 ERA over 1.1 innings.
