Kolten Wong’s trip to the disabled list started, innocently enough, while he was swinging in the on-deck circle.
If the St. Louis Cardinals’ second baseman has his way, the pop he felt in his left elbow won’t keep him out for long.
“Trying to let (the injury) run its course right now and understand that eventually it’s going to heal up,” Wong told MLB.com. “Keep working, keep myself in shape for the season. When 10 days are up, I want to be ready to play.”
The earliest Wong can return to action is June 6 at Cincinnati, and he received positive news earlier this week when an MRI revealed no structural damage in his elbow.
