ST. LOUIS — Paul DeJong wasn’t back in the minors for long — just three days, in fact. All it took was another Kolten Wong trip to the disabled list to get him back with St. Louis.
The Cardinals placed Wong on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with a right tricep strain and recalled DeJong from Triple-A Memphis.
Wong, 26, was removed from Wednesday night’s game against Milwaukee in the top of the sixth inning. He had been on a six-game hitting streak in which he raised his batting average to .301.
Wong had been back on active duty for less than a week before suffering the tricep strain.
