Wainwright is on track to be the Cardinals opening day starter for the fourth consecutive year, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Not much of a surprise here as Wainwright is still considered to be the staff ace in St. Louis and Matheny confirmed as much. Wainwright is 34 years old but doesn't have the usual mileage of other ace's his age. He should be counted on for another top 25 season in most fantasy leagues.
