DeRosa headed to DL
Mark DeRosa, whom the Cardinals acquired in a trade with Cleveland just more than two weeks ago, is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a left wrist strain. DeRosa, who played just three games with the Cardinals before injuring the wrist, was initially thought to be rejoining the Cardinals in Milwaukee tonight for the start of a three-game series. However, after an examination of the wrist on Monday, the team announced this afternoon that he will be moved to the disabled list, retroactive to July 1.
Just yesterday DeRosa said, “I’d love to be able to contribute, but it’s out of my control right now.”
In corresponding moves, the Cardinals have recalled infielder Brian Barden and outfielder Nick Stavinoha from Class AAA Memphis. The Cardinals optioned infielder Tyler Greene to Memphis on Monday.
Starting pitcher Kyle Lohse (right forearm flexor strain) is slated to make a rehab start tonight for Memphis. The team is hopeful Lohse will return to the Cardinals for this weekend’s series against the Chicago Cubs.

Unfortunately I think this is the right move. More caution needs to be taken with wrist injuries, and with Barden and Stavinoha recalled hopefully that will give a boost to this struggling offense.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
Why is the Cards medical staff & powers-that-be that decide what to do w/injured players so f’ing stupid!
Coulda put him on the Dl lot sooner than this, imo. Now, he won’t even be available that 1st weekend series after the All-Star break.
AND, if we would’ve acted sooner, we could have had him for the Cub series this weekend, no?
Come on, guys. Get your acts together. Stupid! Why you so stupid!! Argh.
Mike, it’s retroactive to july 1st. he’ll be eliglbe to come back the Thursday after the all star game. Smart move.
Hey Mike S., the front office/medical staff may look stupid at times, but this time, you do. It says he is on the DL retroactive to July 1, which means he can come back July 16th if ready. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Mike S., the move to the DL is retroactive to the last date he appeared in a game. Waiting will not affect when he becomes available in the least, not even by one day. Now who’s stupid, stupid, stupid??
Mike S, the DL placement is retroactive to July 1, so therefore DeRosa can comeback on the 15th, he would be available the first series after the All-Star break, relax!
Hey Mike, before you go off the deep end, be aware you can backdate the DL from the day of the 1st missed game. Have a clue.
Mike…..
UMMMMM….NO. Since he hasn’t played since the injury, his DL time will start on 7/1. That’s what retroactive means.
The move was made retroactive to July 1st. He will be available for the first game back on the 16th, before the first game back from the All-Star break.
lol….I think the point got made.
