Another flare up in his pitching elbow will most likely land Cardinal Ace Chris Carpenter on the retroactive 15 day disabled list. It hasn't been announced yet by the Cardinal organization that this will occur but it's a pretty safe bet once you sort through all the crap they're feeding the media about it.
Carp played catch on Friday, and then threw a side session Saturday, but woke Sunday morning with the same swelling he had after his opening day start. Something is wrong. He gets a MRI today and we'll hear that he's making a DL stint by tomorrow evening, I would guess. It will most likely be the 15-day DL, but don't go into shock if he's not bumped to the 30-day. There's no need in pushing him now and costing him the season, let's just hope this isn't extremely serious and is going to require surgery. But it's certainly something you have to be thinking if you're a fan.
Blake Hawksworth is the go-to guy at this point, it seems. He'll most likely get the call for tomorrow's start at Pittsburgh, or perhaps they will bump him to later in the week.

Looks like it's Kiesler getting the call tomorrow. I hope he is ready to step up.
Good call on Hawksworth
and by the way, there is no 30 day DL. 15 or 60.
No, but you can have a 30 day rehab assignment. And, you act like Hawksworth was a stupid choice. You knew it would have been either him or Kiesler.
They said numerous times that Hawksworth was not ready and that he was not considered. He hadn't pitched about Double A.
And you can have any type of rehab assignment
In case you wanted to know there is a nice article on Chase Daniel (Mizzou's QB) on espn.com. Check it out.
I'll take "anonymous"(the stupid one) to fill in for Carp!
