There is not much going against the St. Louis Cardinals, who have won 17 consecutive games and are preparing for a wild-card matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. But they do enter the postseason with some uncertainties throughout the roster.
First, it’s the status of shortstop Edmundo Sosa. He was hit by a pitch on his fourth metacarpal against the Chicago Cubs and while he is progressing, he has not resumed swinging a bat. He is viewed as day to day, but with the wild-card game less than a week away, time is running out for him to return in time.
