Wainwright (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright wound up missing just one start while on the injured list with a bout of hamstring soreness. The veteran right-hander compiled a 4.46 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 61:31 K:BB in 70.2 innings (13 starts) prior to landing on the shelf. Daniel Ponce de Leon was sent back to the minors in a corresponding move.

Wainwright (hamstring) will return from the 10-day injured list to start Thursday against the Marlins, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright will wind up missing just a single turn through the rotation after leaving his previous start with hamstring soreness. Langosch also reports that Wainwright completed a bullpen session and agility work Monday and fielding activities Tuesday, which presumably sealed the team's decision to activate him. Wainwright owns a 4.46 ERA in 13 starts this season, the exact same figure he recorded in eight starts last year.

Wainwright (hamstring) threw a successful bullpen session Monday and could return to the rotation either Thursday against the Marlins or Friday against the Angels, Mark Saxon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright suffered a left hamstring strain June 9, but he's made impressive progress since and should be activated from the injured list later in the week. Either Daniel Ponce de Leon or Michael Wacha could be headed to the bullpen upon Wainwright's return.

Wainwright has been diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in one week, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright was placed on the 10-day injured list after exiting Sunday's outing with a hamstring issue. While it's positive news that the hamstring strain is mild, the Cardinals likely won't know how much time the right-hander will miss until they re-evaluate Wainwright in a week.

Wainwright (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The move isn't a surprising one, as reports over the weekend suggested that Wainwright would miss at least one start. It's not clear at this point if he's expected to miss more time than that. Daniel Ponce de Leon appears to be the top candidate to fill his place in the rotation. Reliever Ryan Helsley was promoted to take Wainwright's roster spot.

EDGE Analysis

Skipper Mike Shildt stated that he anticipates Wainwright missing at least one start, though he could miss more time if the injury is severe.

EDGE Analysis
Wainwright had to leave the game due to injury, though it remains to be seen if he'll be forced to miss any time while on the mend. He's likely headed for further testing.

Wainwright exited Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent injury, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear as to what kind of injury Wainwright sustained, but it was evidently significant enough to chase him from the game. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information is disclosed.

Wainwright will start Sunday's game against the Cubs, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright originally lined up to start Saturday but will take an extra day following Wednesday's postponement. The 37-year-old fired eight two-hit innings versus the Cubs on Monday and will look to replicate that performance at Wrigley Field this weekend.

Wainwright (5-5) gave up no runs on two hits and seven walks while striking out eight through eight innings to take the win over the Cubs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright was electric at times, gathering 14 swinging strikes in his 126 pitches. The walks continue to be an issue for the 37-year-old as he allowed his highest walk total of the season and has a 4.1 BB/9 this season. He has a 5-5 record with a 4.34 ERA and a 8.0 K/9 through 12 starts. Wainwright will face the Cubs again Saturday in his next start.
