| Player Notes |
| October 10, 2004 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa admitted yesterday that Scott Rolen remains limited by the strained calf that kept the third baseman out of 16 games last month. "I think he's encouraged how he feels; he's not 100 percent," La Russa said. "Use that word, 'playable.' That's what he is. I think he's sore, but he's all right." |
| September 28, 2004 Scott Rolen went 0-for-3 in his return to the Cardinals' lineup on Tuesday night after missing 16 games with a strained upper left calf and bruised left shin. |
| September 28, 2004 Scott Rolen is expected to make his first start tonight since September 10, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He's been out with a strained calf. |
| September 27, 2004 Scott Rolen said he expects to play some in the Cardinals' three-game series with the Astros which begins tonight, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Rolen has missed the last 15 games with a strained left calf. |
| September 23, 2004 Scott Rolen ran on a treadmill yesterday for the second straight day, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He also jogged in the outfield and took pregame hitting and infield work as he continues to try to return from his strained calf before the regular season ends. |
| September 21, 2004 Scott Rolen admitted yesterday that his strained calf is more seriously injured than he first thought, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He hopes to return before the regular season wraps up. "Will I be back for the playoffs? I absolutely think so," he said. "I don't think there's a question about that." |
| September 15, 2004 Scott Rolen missed his fourth straight start Wednesday night and is expected to be sidelined at least another week with a strained calf, according to the AP. "If you push it, you're liable to really blow it out," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "We're going to be careful with him. So he's just not available." |
| September 14, 2004 Scott Rolen missed his third straight start on Tuesday night with a strained calf and is likely to miss at least a few more games, according to the AP. |
| September 13, 2004 Scott Rolen said he hopes to return from his strained calf for Tuesday's game, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I'll try to do some running (today) and see how it goes," Rolen said. "I'd hope to be back in there Tuesday. They have different ideas, but that's what I'm hoping." |
| September 12, 2004 Scott Rolen was out of the lineup for the second straight day on Sunday with a strained calf. He's still day-to-day. |
| September 10, 2004 Scott Rolen left Friday's game with a strained left knee, according to the AP. He hit a solo homer and drove in a total of four runs before exiting the game. |
| August 22, 2004 Scott Rolen was given a routine day off on Sunday though he did enter the game as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning. |
| August 12, 2004 Scott Rolen got the day off on Thursday because he was 0-for-18 lifetime against Marlins starter A.J. Burnett, according to the AP. |
| July 29, 2004 Scott Rolen played yesterday despite still being bothered by the flu and a sore left knee, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "If this was a day game after a night game, I might have thought about" sitting, Rolen said. "But it's a night game after a night game with a day off (today). I want to play. It's pretty simple." Rolen also was sore from fouling a ball off his left ankle on Tuesday. |
| July 17, 2004 Scott Rolen was out of the Cardinals lineup for only the third time this season on Saturday with flu symptoms. |
| July 16, 2004 In addition to a sore left knee, Scott Rolen played through a cold and the flu on Thursday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Several times, between the trainer and the manager, we were trying to convince Rolen to get out of the game. He was feeling terrible," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. |
| July 15, 2004 Doctors recommended that Scott Rolen accept a series of injections to help cushion his sore knee, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A recent MRI revealed that he does have some bone bruises in the joint, though the club insists that the cartilage is sound. Arthroscopic surgery remains on option if his condition worsens, though Cardinals medical supervisor Dr. George Paletta said Wednesday, "Surgery isn't seen as a necessity now." |
| July 6, 2004 Scott Rolen underwent an MRI on his sore left knee, according to the AP. The exam didn't reveal anything other than irritation. He will continue to play through the ailment, and has no plans to skip the All-Star game on July 13. He had a similiar ailment last year that simply disappeared after a couple of weeks, so Rolen is hoping that the same thing will eventually happen this season. |
| July 2, 2004 Scott Rolen expects to have an MRI on his sore left knee in the next few days, according to the AP. The minor injury has bothered him for several weeks, though it hasn't affected his play much. "I don't think it's a big deal," Rolen said. "I'll get checked by the doctor. I'll probably get an MRI just to see if it's a problem." He was in the starting lineup for Friday's game. |
| July 1, 2004 Scott Rolen was given a routine day off yesterday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| June 3, 2004 Scott Rolen returned to the lineup on Thursday after missing Wednesday's game with a mild concussion. He didn't appear to have any cobwebs as he hit 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI. |
| June 3, 2004 Scott Rolen hopes to return from his mild concussion today, but the decision will be made by the Cardinals' medical staff, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| June 2, 2004 Scott Rolen didn't start Wednesday's game after suffering a mild concussion when he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday. |
| June 2, 2004 Cardinals trainer Barry Weinberg said Scott Rolen may be able to play tonight, even though the third baseman sustained a mild concussion when he was hit in the helmet by a pitch last night, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "When he came in he started getting a headache and some ringing in his ears, and it was time to evaluate him," Weinberg added. "But if he's clear (today) and there's no headache and no ringing in the ears, he'll be in there. If things get worse, he won't be." |
| June 1, 2004 Scott Rolen left after the top of the first inning Tuesday night after he was hit in the helmet with a pitch, according to the AP. He walked to first under his own power and scored a run two batters later. Rolen was diagnosed with a mild concussion after the game and will be re-evaluated on Wednesday. |
| May 15, 2004 Although Scott Rolen has been hitting cleanup for the Cardinals over the past two games, manager Tony La Russa does not expect to keep him there very long, according to the AP. La Russa does not want Rolen to put too much pressure on himself, and he feels Rolen is already carrying a large load given his defensive contributions. |
| May 15, 2004 According to the AP, Scott Rolen will be the Cardinals cleanup hitter for the next few days. Both Jim Edmonds and Ray Lankford have not hit well in that spot recently. Rolen currently leads the majors with 36 RBI. |
| May 10, 2004 The Cardinals gave Scott Rolen a routine day off Sunday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
