Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez will miss the rest of the season due to a right shoulder strain, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak announced Saturday before the Cardinals hosted the Brewers at Busch Stadium.
"Unfortunately, it does show a shoulder strain, and at this point, given where we we are in the season, we will shut him down for the remainder of it," Mozeliak said. "That would include depending on how far we went in the postseason as well."
An MRI on Saturday morning confirmed the news.
Reliever Tyler Lyons is expected to join the rotation, according to Cardinals manager Mike Matheny.
