St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) will make a rehab start on Tuesday at Triple-A Memphis, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Flaherty had tossed a successful bullpen session on Thursday, and now he's in line to face live batters for the first time since suffering an oblique injury in his last start on May 31. Goold adds that the team will limit Flaherty to about 40-45 pitches in the outing, as he makes another step towards his return to St. ...

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) threw another bullpen session on Thursday. According to manager Mike Shildt, the Cardinals ace will face live hitters next and announce on Friday when this will occur. The 25-year-old continues to work his way back from an oblique strain. Flaherty owned a 2.90 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 67: 20 K: BB in 62 innings over his 11 starts before landing on the injured list. Fantasy managers should continue to stash the 25-year-old in hopes that he returns ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) is expected to throw to hitters this week as he tries to return from a left oblique strain that has kept him out since late May. There is an idea being floated around by the Cardinals of bringing Flaherty and Miles Mikolas back from the injured list early in piggyback roles. That would obviously make Flaherty and Mikolas less attractive from a fantasy perspective, but it's also not guaranteed to happen. Flaherty, 25, is the Cardinals...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) threw a bullpen session on Friday, while right-hander Miles Mikolas (forearm) threw live batting practice, according to manager Mike Shildt. If Mikolas progresses as expected, he could start a rehab assignment by the end of the month. Flaherty has been out since the end of May, and there remains no timetable for his return. Fantasy managers should continue stashing the Red Birds ace, but don't expect a return until around the middle ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) has joined the team in San Francisco and made 15 light throws off a mound on Monday for the first time since his injury. While it was just a minor step in his throwing progression, it's a start. The 25-year-old right-hander could be back in the team's starting rotation at some point in late July. He was one of the best pitchers in baseball before the injury, going 8-1 with a 2.90 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 67/20 K/BB in 62 innings over 11 ...

The St. Louis Cardinals moved starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) to the 60-day injured list on Saturday after claiming right-hander Justin Miller off waivers from the Washington Nationals. Flaherty started playing light catch two weeks ago as he recovers from a left oblique strain that he suffered in late May. Barring any setbacks when he starts to ramp back up, the 25-year-old could return to St. Louis' rotation in late July or early August. He needs to remain stashed in all fantasy ...

St. Louis Cardinals ace right-hander Jack Flaherty (oblique) played catch at Busch Stadium on Wednesday morning in a "good sign," The Athletic reported. Manager Mike Shildt cautioned that the right-hander, who was off to a career year at 8-1 with a 2.90 ERA, has been regulated to a "light throwing motion." There's still no official timetable, though previous reports had suggested that Flaherty could be out until early August with the left oblique tear. Fantasy managers are hoping he can avoid ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) is expected to be out through at least the All-Star break, but there is no set timetable for his return, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Flaherty exited his last start on May 31 with an oblique injury after five innings of work, and was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day. This is disappointing news for managers who have Flaherty rostered, as he was in the midst of a very nice season in which he was 8-1 with a ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old left Monday's start against the Dodgers after only five innings of work with tightness in his left side. Skipper Mike Shildt described the ailment as "significant," which would appear to indicate that his absence will likely extend well beyond his current designation. Flaherty is having a terrific season, sporting an 8-1 record to go along with 67 strikeouts and a 2.90 ERA, so ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (side) was forced to leave his start on Monday due to tightness in his left side. Flaherty hurt himself while batting in the top of the sixth inning and was unable to come back for the bottom of the inning. Before being forced to leave, he'd pitched five innings, allowing two runs on two hits (both solo home runs) while walking one and striking out nine. If Flaherty is dealing with an oblique injury, he will almost certainly require a trip to ...
