What was less expected was the move of placing Stephen Piscotty on the disabled list due to a right hamstring strain. Though diagnosed with the injury and forced to exit last night’s game, Piscotty was optimistic afterwards and called the issue “mild” and a “spasm” more than any serious injury.
There is still no official word on Dexter Fowler, who left last night’s game due to a shoulder injury.
Pham has played in 136 games with the Cardinals and was batting .283 at Memphis this year.
He will be active tonight as the Cardinals open a weekend series in Atlanta.
