Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright will miss his Opening Day start for St. Louis after suffering a groin strain with Team USA during the World Baseball Classic.
The 41-year-old longtime Cardinals pitcher, who said that this will be his final season before retiring, will be placed on the injured list and will miss “the next several weeks,” manager Oliver Marmol told reporters in Jupiter.
Wainwright could miss up to a month, and is expected to go on a rehab assignment in the minors before returning to the major league club.
