Tejada (quadriceps) will start the season on the disabled list, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tejada was in line for lots of playing time as the replacement for the injured Jhonny Peralta (thumb), but that opportunity will be delayed for the time being. In his stead, Jedd Gyorko and Greg Garcia should both get time at shortstop in the Cardinals lineup.
