Bowman (finger) fired a perfect seventh inning for Triple-A Memphis in a win over Tacoma on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander needed just five pitches to get his three outs, inducing a pair of outs on grounders and the third on a flyball. Bowman's workload barely represented a blip on the radar, but it did represent his first game action since May 16. General manager Michael Girsch has stated that the plan is for Bowman to pitch every other day during the Redbirds' seven-game homestand, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. Following that period, he'll be examined by the Cardinals' medical staff, after which he'll either be activated or optioned to another of the organization's minor-league affiliates.
