Cardinals notebook: Reyes breaks finger, will go on IL

The three-season frustration of promising Cardinals righthander Alex Reyes has gone to another dimension. From elbow injury and resultant surgery to shoulder injury and resultant surgery, Reyes now has a broken pinkie finger on his left hand.

After another outing for Class AAA Memphis in which lack of command appeared to be an issue Thursday night at Omaha, Reyes punched a wall and suffered the broken finger, Cardinals general manager Michael Girsch revealed Sunday.

No compatible source was found for this media.

Reyes, who was optioned to Memphis earlier this month when he had trouble throwing enough strikes at the major-league level, threw only 22 strikes out of 46 pitches on Thursday, although he walked only two and allowed three runs.
