Helsley's shoulder injury lands him on injured list, brings Cabrera back to Cards

NEW YORK — With their pitching ranks thinned further by injury, the Cardinals brought back lefty Genesis Cabrera on Thursday from Class AAA Memphis shortly after he was returned to the affiliate to "work on his craft."

The latest dent to the Cardinals' pitching staff came Wednesday in Miami when Ryan Helsley had to leave the game with shoulder pain.

He was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday afternoon with an impingement in his right shoulder. Last season, he had his cut short by soreness and fatigue in that same joint. The Cardinals have not advertised how long they expect the power reliever to miss, though the recurrence of trouble in that area and description of an impingement could require additional time to recover.
