St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right oblique, joining a growing list of injured St. Louis starting pitchers.
The Cardinals announced the move before the opener of their doubleheader Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. It wasn't immediately certain how much time Martinez will be sidelined.
Martinez struggled in his most recent outing Thursday, allowing six runs -- five earned -- in just five innings of the Cardinals' 9-6 loss to the Cubs.
