Ortiz: Cards' pitching depth already being tested

JUPITER, Fla. • It was still too early to panic. That’s the most optimistic thing I can say about the Cardinals’ decision Tuesday to send top pitching prospect Alex Reyes for an MRI exam on his sore right elbow.

Feel free to worry, though, Cardinal Nation.

The Cardinals and their fans have plenty of reason for concern as Reyes waits for the MRI results.

The first workout for pitchers and catchers is usually a day full of optimism. That appeared to be the case early Tuesday on the Cardinals’ side of Roger Dean Stadium.
