rink23 · 05-17-2019, 05:41 AM

The St. Louis River Walkers have placed left-handed starting pitcher David Price on the injured list and have called up Brendan Spagnuolo from AAA Memphis to replace him in the starting rotation. The 36-year-old Price was injured while pitching during the second inning of a 4-3 loss to Kansas City on April 20. He was diagnosed with a strained forearm and is expected to miss up to eight weeks. Price had gone 1-1 with an ERA of 6.55 in three starts for the Walkers in 2022. A right-hander, the 26-year-old Spagnuolo was 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA in three starts for the Redbirds. In 2021, he got into five major league games (three starts) and gone 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA. However, he fared much better in five spring training starts going 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA. The plan was for Spagnuolo to pitch at AAA through probably the end of May before deciding to see if he was ready for a spot in the major-league rotation. Price's injury forces the injury to be made a month earlier.
