Wainwright (abdomen) will face minor league hitters in a simulated game Monday, the St. Louis Post Dispatch's Derrick Goold reports. It is unclear when he will be able to take the mound in a spring game, but it is good to hear he is continuing to pitch. There does not seem to be much concern out of the Cardinals' camp about Wainwright's availability for the start of the season. There is a gray cloud hanging over his fantasy outlook this season in many circles, and if his price falls too far, there is a prime buying opportunity here.
