Flaherty was lifted from his start Thursday against the Angels after taking a comebacker off his left hand, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is that the injury is to Flaherty's non-throwing hand, and he didn't appear to be in too much pain. The bad news is that he was charged with 10 earned runs on nine hits and two walks over just 2.1 frames as his season ERA ballooned from 3.94 ERA all the way to 6.29. Flaherty's next turn through the rotation lines up to come next week against the Cubs, and he should be considered day-to-day until the Cardinals update his status.
