The 24-year-old righthander spent several weeks at an all-inclusive physical rehab facility in Florida, and his next step will be the throwing program, under the Cardinals’ guidance. If that goes well, he’ll face hitters in Jupiter, Fla., in September in an attempt to have him leave the season healthy, with some innings on his arm, and a plan to be ready for spring.
Outfielder Dylan Carlson and rising catching prospect Ivan Herrera headline the seven Cardinals prospects named Wednesday to the Arizona Fall League, baseball’s invitation-only and elite offseason league. An eighth prospect, a pitcher, will be selected later.
