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.

And BTW, just for anyone else who might be wondering, putting him on the DL sooner also would not mean his wrist would be healed any sooner. So if he was going to able to play this weekend, they would not have put him on the DL at all, they would have made it for another three days with 1 less available position player, just like they have been doing.
O.K., my friend Ry-guy just told me it’s retro-active.
I’m chilled out now.
The trip to the DL is retroactive to July 1, which is the day after he got hurt. Even if he went on the DL right away it would have been the same day, July 1. Making him ineligible to play the weekend series with the Cubs. He is eligible to come of the DL on Thursday July 16 wich will make him available for the first series after the break. And remember, the Cardinals get an extra day after the break.
And thanks to all whom made me aware of that on here as well.
Much obliged.
Mike S. - Why is the Cardinals medical staff stupid here? He’s hasn’t played in a game since the injury, so the 15 day disabled list can be backdated to the day after he got hurt. Which means his stint can be retroactive to July 1. So if I add 15 days, he’s back in time for the Arizona series on the 17th.
There is no way we would have had him for the Cubs series this weekend, even if we had put him on the DL the day we traded for him! He’s only been with the team since the 28th of June.
Maybe you should learn how the DL works before going o
Mike,
Why do you think he would’ve been available to play against the Cubs this weekend. That series is not fifteen days beyond the date he was hurt plus who knows if he would’ve been healthy by then anyway? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Hey Mike S,
Any idea when he can come of the DL? Just thought you were the one to ask.
What is up with this’ teams medical staff? There seems to be more indecision and second guessing about player’s injuries than accurate diagnoses, prognoses and treatment going on with Cardinal players than other teams. Any chance Troy Glaus will play an inning this year?
And yes, all on here are right. I jumped to conclusions, didn’t read the post fully, and cleary did look stupid, stupid, stupid. So I’ll admit that, tip my cap, and admit defeat.
I’m usually better than that on here.
Does anyone know if this is retroactive to July 1st? I mean, isn’t it kind of stupid to wait until now to make the decision? I wish there was somewhere I could go to get information on this move and the effect it has on his return since they waited. If only…
