The Cardinals officially placed infielder JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day injured list due to right wrist tendinitis. Wetherholt had been managing wrist pain for approximately a month, attributing it to a career-high workload, but a rest-and-recovery approach failed to help as pain intensified. He is scheduled to see a specialist in Arizona and is hopeful for a short IL stint. Infielder Cesar Prieto was recalled from Triple-A Memphis as the corresponding roster move.
