JUPITER, Fla. • While Alex Reyes took his warmup tosses for yet another round of batting practice against yet another group of hitters on yet another day of rehab, Kolten Wong stretched and watched and suggested his at-bats Thursday against the righthander weren’t the story.
“You want to talk to the tall guy,” Wong said.
Grabbing a bat and popping on a helmet on the other side of the cage was Adam Wainwright, Cardinals pitcher and Silver Slugger. He had been given an invitation – clearance? – to be part of the hitters who faced Reyes.
