As expected, the Cardinals announced Tuesday afternoon they have placed righthander Jordan Hicks on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, retroactive to Sunday. That made room on the roster for righthander Johan Oviedo, who was to have started Tuesday night against New York.
But that start was postponed until Wednesday when the Cardinals have a 4:15 p.m. doubleheader at Busch Stadium--two seven-inning games--as a result of Tuesday's game being postponed because threatening weather.
The Mets probably still won't have star righthander Jacob deGrom, who was scratched with right side tightness. deGrom, two-time Cy Young Award winner, has an 0.51 earned average and 59 strikeouts in 35 innings but only a 2-2 record.
