MLB injury note: Bucs lose Cervelli

rink23 · 03-12-2018, 03:10 AM

Back when this season started, it would not have been a surprise that the 2004 Cardinals and the 2016 Cubs would be battling it out for the NL Central title.
A little less than halfway through August, the opposite is true, they are fighting it out for the basement as they begin a three-game series at Busch Stadium.

Game 115: Cubs 7, Cardinals 3, at Busch Stadium, St. Louis
Rec/Std: 52-63, 4th (tied/w. Cubs), 12 GB Pittsburgh
W: Wilson 3-4, 9.35. L: Romero 0-1, 15.00. HR Rizzo 19.
Player of the game: The Cubs' Anthony Rizzo was 1 for 4 with a grand slam in the top of the eighth inning to snap a 3-3 tie.
Note: The Cardinals' Chris Carpenter, who finally pitched decent after five straight horrible starts, tossed six shutout innings before giving up a run in the seventh. The Cubs then battered the St. Louis bullpen for six more runs to win the game. Rizzo's grand slam came off Jason Isringhausen, who like in real life, does not pitch well unless he comes into a game with a one-run lead to open the ninth inning.

MLB injury notes: Phillies lose Victorino and Durbin

rink23 · 03-12-2018, 04:33 AM

Just three games into his stint with the St. Louis Cardinals, first baseman Frank Thomas has suffered a strained oblique injury that will sideline up to five weeks.
This means he will probably not return this season. His replacement on the roster has yet to be determined.
Note: OOTP has shut down its server so I cannot add anything more a this pt.

RHP Matt Morris will get the callup to replace the injured Frank Thomas on the Cardinals' 24-man roster.
Morris, who opened the season in St. Louis before struggles sent him to AAA Chandler, will be starting for Jeff Suppan in the finale of the Cardinals' three-game series with the Cubs at Busch Stadium,
Suppan was pushed into relief duty in the Cardinals' 11-inning victory on August 15 because of lack of rested bullpen pitchers.
Morris went 3-5 with a 6.18 ERA before being demoted to Chandler on June 30.
He had gone 1-3 with a 2.68 in eight starts for the Centaurs.
