Dobbins Lands on IL With Forearm Tightness
The Cardinals lose a second starter in two days to arm trouble, placing Hunter Dobbins on the 15-day IL after he left his last outing early.
Hunter Dobbins was placed on the 15-day injured list with tightness in his throwing forearm after departing his start against the Phillies following just one pitch in the fifth inning. Dobbins has a history of Tommy John surgery but told reporters the sensation is distinctly different from that injury. He had posted a 3.67 ERA over 54 innings in a Cardinals uniform this season. This is the second Cardinals starter lost to an arm injury in back-to-back days, following Andre Pallante's IL placement the day prior.
