Cardinals bring back Brebbia, as Sherriff joins Cecil on DL, wearing a boot

Both lefties are now on the disabled list -- Cecil already was -- and as a result the Cardinals promoted John Brebbia from Class AAA Memphis before he threw a pitch for the Redbirds. That gives the Cardinals a temporary setup to the bullpen before the arrival of Greg Holland this week, but it assures that they will go into the series against Milwaukee and then off to Cincinnati with one lefty in the bullpen.

Sherriff was optimistic he would be ready as soon as Sunday to pitch again, but that was before a foot specialist asked to take a look at his big toe during the game Saturday.
