St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched very well in his Grapefruit League start against the Houston Astros on Sunday. He tossed the first three innings, allowing one run on one hit while striking out five and not allowing a walk. Wainwright got up to 44 pitches in this one, 27 strikes. He showed last season that he still had plenty left in the tank, and while fantasy managers shouldn't expect quite this much swing-and-miss stuff from the veteran, he can certainly still ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched two perfect innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League start. Wainwright needed just 20 pitches to make his way through the first six Marlins in the lineup.

The St. Louis Cardinals are re-signing starting pitcher Adam Wainwright to a one-year deal on Thursday believed to be worth $8 million. The 39-year-old was the team's most reliable pitcher in the shortened 2020 season, throwing two shutouts and posting a 3.15 ERA in his 15th season with St. Louis. The three-time All-Star made his debut back in 2005 and has spent his entire career with the Red Birds.

Free-agent right-hander Adam Wainwright is in wait-and-see mode as it pertains to potentially re-signing with the St. Louis Cardinals. Because of a strange shortened 2020 season due to COVID-19 with no fans, the Cardinals could be limited in what they do financially. Long-time catcher Yadier Molina, who is also a free agent, also has his future up in the air. Wainwright broke in with the Cardinals in 2005, spending his entire 15-year career to this point with them. But with all the obstacles in ...

The Atlanta Braves are interested in free-agent starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, 17 years after he pitched for current manager Brian Snitker at Double-A Greenville.

The two-time Cy Young runner-up is a free agent after 15 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, but he has a chance to join the team that drafted him 20 years ago. Wainwright had a 3.15 ERA in 10 starts (65 2/3 innings) during the ...

He will take the ball at Petco Park for the seventh time (sixth start) in his career, looking for his first win at the yard since 2013. As has been the case for many of Wainwrights recent appearances, Thursday could mark the final outing of his storied career. He has the undoubted playoff acumen to merit fantasy consideration, but hell have to deal with ...

St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim will get the start in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Padres on Wednesday. Veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright will start in Game 2. Padres left-handed hitters Mitch Moreland and Jason Castro, who have poor career numbers against southpaws, will likely start the series on the bench. Kim had a 1.62 ERA in eight outings during the shortened season after signing a two-year, $8 million deal in the offseason. The 32-year-old is entering ...
