After that ugly three or four day stretch of injuries between spring training and opening day, the St. Louis Cardinals seem like they are working closer to getting back to full strength, as opposed to moving in the other direction (knock on wood!).
Jhonny Peralta recently had the cast removed from his left hand that protected his surgically repaired thumb. It is reported that he will continue to wear a splint for the next couple of weeks before his next evaluation.
Presumably, if that goes well, Jhonny could jump back into baseball activities and back into the Cardinal lineup fairly quickly after that.
