June 22, 200620 yr The Cardinals will activate slugger Albert Pujols from the disabled list before tonight's 7:05 CT matchup with the White Sox. Mark Mulder heads to the DL to make room for Pujols, who returns from a strained right oblique muscle. Anthony Reyes gets the start. Full story > I'm happy but he better be healthy!! The Moves appear to be: Pujols activated from DL Reyes activated to start and maybe stay for a bit Duncan optioned to AAA Memphis - This isnt confirmed though Mulder to DL with 'Sore Shoulder'
June 22, 200620 yr OMG OMG OMG... My prediction of his first game back: 1-4, HR (26) 3 RBI (66, 67, 68). My Prediction!!
June 22, 200620 yr Ironic that on the night that Roger Clemens returns to try to rejuvinate Houston, Pujols returns to remind the Astros why that ain't happening.
June 22, 200620 yr Author Pujols in, Mulder out Posted by Matthew Leach on Thursday, 22 June 2006 at 04:56 PM [Link] Here's the skinny... 1. Albert Pujols was activated from the DL today. He's starting at first base and batting third. He said everything feels normal and he's good to go. 2. Mark Mulder was placed on the 15-day DL with what the team is calling a left shoulder strain, but the whole thing is pretty odd. Mulder basically can't get full extension of his arm, and that's all they really seem to be sure of. No muscle or tendon or anything has been identified as the culprit. He'll be examined tomorrow by Dr. Paletta in St. Louis. According to TLR, there's a pretty good chance that they'll hold him out through the All-Star break, but nothing is set in stone until they check everything out. 3. As expected, Anthony Reyes was added to the roster to make the start tonight. The final piece of roster juggling was that Chris Duncan was optioned to Memphis. 4. Sidney Ponson threw a bullpen today and will take Mulder's turn in the rotation on Sunday. 5. Jim Edmonds is in the lineup. I'll have more depth on all of this, of course, in my notebook later this evening. -M.
