JUPITER, Fla. • Carlos Martinez showed up in the Cardinals’ clubhouse on Tuesday with his right arm in a sling. But his latest setback will cost him only an additional week as the righthander tries to rebound from a weak right shoulder, which plagued him last year.
Martinez, who had been out a week of a two-week, non-throwing program, received a platelet-rich-plasma injection on Monday at Dr. James Andrews’ clinic in Pensacola, Fla. Manager Mike Shildt said this morning that Martinez would be out two weeks from now before he is allowed to throw again. Surgery is not planned.
