The Cardinals placed Gorman on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 2, due to a right hamstring strain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gorman presumably suffered the injury during his last appearance Tuesday versus the Angels, during which he went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored. Prior to the injury, the 24-year-old had started just two of the Cardinals' first five games with Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson operating as the primary second baseman and designated hitter, respectively. Gorman will be eligible to be reinstated April 12, though he could be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum.
