Staff ace Chris Carpenter is reported to miss at least one start due to right elbow inflammation. Carpenter was scheduled to start Friday at Houston, Adam Wainwright will move up one day and throw Friday. Anthony Reyes will toss Saturday and Kip Wells will make his second start on Sunday.
Carpenter complained of being stiff and sore after Sunday night's start, he was examined by team doctor George Paletta before the decision to miss a start was made. Carpenter needed 101 pitches to get through 6 innings of work on Sunday night, he gave up five runs.
It's probably too early for speculation but you have to be thinking this could mean a DL stint for Carpenter, opening up an entirely new door of questions for the Cardinals as the season gets underway. What happens if Carp goes on the dreaded 15 day will give you a headache just thinking about it. So don't worry about it until we know more.
