He’s going back to DL. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him placed on the 60 day when they bring back Reyes. Just speculation on my part but that may be the last time we see him.
I agree TexasCard. I am wondering if retirement is right around the corner for him. And I don’t mean at the end of the season.
It’s sad that some freak things like the Achilles injury robbed Adam of the end of his career that we all probably hoped for. I had some hopes that he could be a viable back of the rotation starter this year…but that seems unlikely and the team really probably doesn’t need him to be that with the plethora of young guys ready to step in. The really big question at this point probably becomes whether Reyes or Flaherty should start over Weaver if he keeps on scuffling.
That said, it seems clear that Waino is injured and needs a DL stint. Maybe bring him back for a September start or two if they can afford it and let him go out with the adoration of the fans behind him.
As I said in the other thread, after seeing him today I wonder if retirement is right around the corner. Could be very close. Too many arms in the way of him making it back. I wonder if he sees the writing on the wall.

Rats I agree but it would be to have his voice in the dugout to help with the young guys. I’d say a DL stint will happen before his ultimate retirement announcement.
I think we just got our answer of what to do with the roster when its time to activate Alex Reyes. 60-day DL has his name written all over it and today was the last time we see Waino pitch for the Cardinals.
Waino can’t retire. That almost never happens when a player still has millions to collect on a contract. If Wainwright were to retire, it would cost him about $15.5M.
Adam Wainwright says his elbow injury quickly became an issue again on Sunday: "I warmed up great, and I went out to pitch the first inning, and third-to-last warmup pitch I re-aggravated it." #STLCards pic.twitter.com/JFdlOp8vpE

Does anyone recall what he was throwing in his rehab outing?
I was wondering the same thing Brian. There wasn’t a peep said about elbow pain after his outing in Springfield last Monday but then his elbow hurts after 2 1/3 in San Diego?? Maybe it had something to do with the quality of hitters.
I read on twitter that his elbow got tweaked when he was warming up yesterday. He didn’t say anything and tried to gut it out.
I’m willing to bet the pain was never really gone, even during the rehab.
For Flaherty coming up, Wainwright was returned to the DL. Third time already this season.
It is not a 10-day maximum. It is a 10-day minimum. They could leave him there for the rest of the season if they chose to.
There is no one to add to the 40-man roster at this time even if they wanted to place Wainwright on the 60-day DL. Such a move can be backdated, so there is nothing lost by doing it this way now. However, we can now see how Reyes’ return could be accommodated in two weeks.
I mentioned this in another thread but the move to the 60 Day DL seems to indicate to me we wont see him again until the rosters expand in September. The team could give him a couple of cameos out of the bullpen to say goodbye to the fans.
Yeah obviously I meant to say TLR. Sheesh.
