Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Thursday that Wainwright is "perfectly fine," Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. It doesn't seems as though the skipper is being entirely truthful, as Matheny acknowledged just earlier this week that Wainwright "has been fighting it" physically. However, Wainwright threw a successful bullpen session Thursday, easing concerns about his elbow in advance of his Game 1 start in the NLCS this Saturday.
