The St. Louis Cardinals placed reliever Alex Reyes on the 60-day injured list Friday, the Cardinals official website reports.
Reyes led the club in saves last season with 29 to go along with a 3.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 69 games. Reyes lost his hold on the closer job late in the season; however, due to his inability to throw strikes, something exemplified as he walked 52 batters in 72.1 IP.
The injury for Reyes this spring is being described as a frayed labrum, and with the club placing him on the 60-day IL on Friday, he won’t be able to return to the team until late May at the earliest.
