Naughton visited a doctor in Texas earlier this week to receive a second opinion on his left forearm injury, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton had a setback during his rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, and at this stage, all treatment options appear to be on the table for the southpaw. That includes a procedure of some sort, though Denton notes that Naughton "might be able to avoid Tommy John surgery." Whatever the case, Naughton doesn't look as though he'll be returning from the Cardinals' 60-day injured list anytime soon.

Naughton will be re-evaluated after he "felt a tug" in his left forearm during his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton lasted just three pitches before suffering the setback. He's missed nearly all of the season with the arm issue and clearly isn't going to be rejoining the St. Louis bullpen anytime soon.

Naughton (forearm) was removed from his rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Memphis after throwing just three pitches, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals haven't revealed whether Naughton suffered a setback with his strained left forearm in the first outing of his rehab assignment or if he's dealing with a new physical issue, but whatever the case, he didn't end up pitching a full inning for Memphis like the organization had planned. Naughton has been shelved since April 8 with the forearm injury and is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list whenever St. Louis deems him ready to go.

Naughton (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton has been out since early April with a strained left forearm. The length of his absence may mean that he needs more than just one or two rehab outings before he's ready to return from the injured list.

St. Louis transferred Naughton (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton resumed throwing earlier this month, but he still has a lot of hurdles to clear in his recovery from a left forearm strain. He originally landed on the IL on April 8 and now won't be eligible to rejoin the St. Louis bullpen until June 8.

Naughton (forearm) played catch Thursday from around 90 feet, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton's throwing program is underway about four weeks after he landed on the injured list because of a left forearm strain. He could return to the Cardinals' bullpen in late May if all goes well from this point forward.

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said Sunday that Naughton underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage to his strained left forearm, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, but he appears to have avoided a potentially long-term injury. Marmol mentioned that the left-hander's recovery process will be mapped out over the next couple of days. It's possible Naughton is able to return to a relief role with St. Louis before the end of April.

Naughton was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left forearm strain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton exited Friday's loss to the Brewers due to the injury and will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. Genesis Cabrera was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Naughton is being evaluated by doctors after leaving Friday's outing with left forearm tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton looked to be in pain before leaving Friday's relief appearance against the Brewers. He should be considered day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list for a fresh arm obviously cannot be ruled out at this stage.

Naughton left Friday's relief appearance against the Brewers with an apparent injury, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat notes.

EDGE Analysis

Naughton was visited by Cardinals manager Oli Marmol and a trainer after he was seen flexing his left arm, and he exited the contest. Chris Stratton has replaced the southpaw after he went 0.2 innings without allowing a run.
