Finally, some positive St Louis Cardinals news: After losing Wade LeBlanc to the injured list, it appears that his absence won’t be an extended one.
The St. Louis Cardinals were this close to having their rotation back at full strength. Jack Flaherty was days away from returning and Miles Mikolas wouldn’t be too far behind. Then Kwang Hyun Kim was missing starts with an elbow injury and then Wade LeBlanc departed from a recent start against the Pittsburgh Pirates with elbow soreness.
