PITTSBURGH -- On Saturday, the Cardinals placed right-handed reliever Mitch Harris (strained right groin) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Thursday, and optioned first baseman Xavier Scruggs to Triple-A Memphis. Accordingly, they recalled right-hander Sam Tuivailala and left-hander Nick Greenwood to work out of the bullpen.
Harris warmed up during Friday night's game, but manager Mike Matheny got word from the bullpen that something didn't feel right.
PITTSBURGH -- Manager Mike Matheny had no intention of handling Nick Greenwood with kid gloves.
