One of those new things -- new to Lind, at least -- is the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), which subjects players to a series of squats, lunges and stretches to identify muscle imbalances. Based on the results, the medical staff prescribes workouts to strengthen trouble areas.
By varying his strengthening program, Lind has remained healthy enough to enter Saturday -- he wasn't in the lineup because the Cardinals started left-hander Jaime Garcia -- batting .286 with 20 home runs and 86 RBIs. It's his fifth season of 20-plus home runs, and he needs four RBIs for his first 90-RBI season since 2009.
