Lefty Kim returns from health scare to start showdown with Brew Crew in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE — Less than 12 days after he was taken to a Chicago emergency room because of severe abdominal pain, Kwang Hyun Kim returns healthy and ready to the Cardinals roster and the Cardinals rotation.

The team couldn't have asked for better timing.

Kim will start Game 1 of a doubleheader Monday evening at Miller Park, and he'll get the first game of a series that pits the second-place Cardinals against the third-place Brewers for five games in a around 50 hours. Daniel Ponce de Leon has been added to the roster as the 29th man for the doubleheader, and the Cardinals plan to have him start Game 2.
