| August 29, 2005 Scott Rolen underwent season-ending surgery on his left shoulder Monday, according to the AP. He will need six months to rehabilitate after the surgery. |
| August 21, 2005 The Cardinals announced Sunday that Scott Rolen will have surgery on his left shoulder and miss the rest of the season. He has a torn labrum and was told he will need six months to rehabilitate it after the surgery. He is expected to return sometime during in spring training. |
| August 19, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Scott Rolen confirmed that he needs reconstructive shoulder surgery that will require six months of recovery. He's expected to decide within a week whether he will try to play through it this season and miss the start of next season or simply have the procedure now. |
| August 18, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Scott Rolen had his ailing shoulder examined Friday by team physician Dr. Timothy Kremchek, who presented season-ending surgery as an option for Rolen. "I have a decision to make," Rolen said. "It's a very personal decision and something I prefer to handle in private rather than publicly." |
| August 6, 2005 Scott Rolen, who is out with a sore shoulder, took grounders at third base and took throws at first base before the game Friday, and his arm looked fine, according to the AP. However, he has not attempted swinging a bat since going on the DL on July 16. "He's doing a little more," manager Tony La Russa said. "Until he starts swinging I wouldn't even be able to guess when he'll be back." |
| July 22, 2005 The Cardinals placed Scott Rolen on the 15-day disabled list Friday to rest his surgically repaired left shoulder, according to the AP. Rolen was injured May 10 in a baserunning collision with Dodgers first baseman Hee-Seop Choi and missed 33 games following surgery. He was hitting just .235 with five home runs and 28 RBI this season. |
| July 21, 2005 A strength test earlier this week showed Scott Rolen had some tendinitis and impingement in his left shoulder but continuing to play, even on a limited basis, would not worsen the condition, according to the AP. |
| July 19, 2005 As expected Scott Rolen was in the lineup on Tuesday. He is expected to see his workload limited for the next 3-6 weeks while he regains strength in his ailing shoulder. |
| July 19, 2005 An MRI on Monday determined that Scott Rolen has mild tendinitis in his left rotator cuff, and his availability will be limited for the next three-to-six weeks, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Rolen didn't play last night but is expect to play tonight. "We're optimistic that this is a situation that we can get under control and, at least at this point, it doesn't warrant putting him back on the disabled list," said Dr. George Paletta, head of the Cardinals' medical staff. "The plan is to play him semi-regularly." |
| July 11, 2005 Scott Rolen decided after Sunday's game to pull out of the All-Star Game because of his problematic right shoulder, according to the AP. Morgan Ensberg will take his place on the roster. "I came to the ballpark with my bags packed for Detroit," Rolen said after Sunday's game. "I talked with the medical staff and they said it was best to rest it for four days." |
| June 22, 2005 Because Cardinals manager Tony La Russa wants Scott Rolen to be eased back from shoulder surgery, Rolen likely will sit out games Wednesday and Friday this week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| June 19, 2005 Scott Rolen got the day off Sunday, according to the AP. Rolen had returned to the lineup Saturday after missing 33 games with a shoulder injury. |
| June 18, 2005 Scott Rolen returned from a 33-game absence Saturday and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. He had been sidelined by a sprained shoulder. |
| June 18, 2005 As expected, the Cardinals activated Scott Rolen from the disabled list on Saturday. He had been sidelined by a sprained left shoulder. |
| June 17, 2005 Scott Rolen could be activated from the 15-day disabled list as soon as Saturday, according to the AP. He took some batting practice and fielded grounders Friday afternoon. "Scott had a very good workout," manager Tony La Russa said. "If he has a good night and a good morning, there's a chance he'll be activated tomorrow." Rolen has missed the last 33 games with a strained left shoulder. |
| June 15, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Scott Rolen will not return from his sprained left shoulder until at least Monday. |
| June 12, 2005 Scott Rolen will stay in St. Louis for the next three days to work on strengthening his shoulder, according to the AP. Rolen had originally hoped to begin a rehab assignment on Monday, but he's been unable to get full extension on his swing. |
| June 11, 2005 Scott Rolen had an intensive workout and batting practice Friday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Barring any setbacks, he will be on his way to a rehab assignment Monday. Rolen is expected to rejoin the team next weekend for the Cards' series against the Devil Rays. |
| June 10, 2005 The plan remains uncertain for Scott Rolen, who's been taking batting and fielding practice all week and could be close to a rehab stint. Rolen has been out since May 11 with a sprained left shoulder that required arthroscopic surgery. "He'll work out through this weekend and we'll see how he comes through it," manager Tony La Russa said. |
| June 7, 2005 Scott Rolen took batting practice with his teammates Monday and Cardinals trainer Barry Weinberg said he is seven to 10 days from being healthy enough to be a "baseball decision," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It's possible that Rolen will be sent on a rehab assignment before returning. |
| June 6, 2005 Scott Rolen, on the DL with a sprained left shoulder since May 12th, took batting practice for the first time on Monday, according to the AP. Manager Tony La Russa said Rolen had a `"productive week" of rehab. |
| June 3, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Scott Rolen began some baseball-related activities this week, as he continues to recover from a sprained left shoulder. The Cardinals hope he can step up his activity early next week. |
| May 24, 2005 Scott Rolen reported a surprising return of his range of motion in his sprained left shoulder on Monday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He's still in some pain, but he's hit the first rehab mile marker quicker than expected. "He had a surprising range of motion for just being a week out," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "He's not anywhere near (returning), but he's making progress." |
| May 14, 2005 Scott Rolen underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a minor labral tear in the shoulder, which was injured in a first-base collision on Tuesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "By having the arthroscopy today, there's a better chance he'll come back sooner than if he hadn't had it," said Cardinals GM Walt Jocketty. "We could have waited 10 days to see how he felt, but we decided to have the surgery." Rolen is still expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. |
| May 13, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals expect Scott Rolen to miss at least a month due to a sprained shoulder and possible cartilage damage in the joint. He was unable to lift his arm above shoulder level yesterday, which kept doctors from performing a complete MRI. A best-case scenario would have him back in 2-3 weeks, while a worst-case could see him sidelined until the All-Star break. |
| May 12, 2005 As expected, the Cardinals have placed Scott Rolen on the 15-day DL with a sprained shoulder. Team physician Dr. George Paletta said Rolen's injury is unrelated to the separated left shoulder that sidelined him for most of the 2002 playoffs. "Dr. Paletta's guess is it's going to be 10 days minimum to 14 days," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "He's very limited so he's going to have to get himself back in shape." |
| May 12, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals are expected to place Scott Rolen on the disabled list today due to his sprained shoulder. A final decision won't come until the results of an MRI today come back. "It's not good," Rolen said. |
| May 11, 2005 Scott Rolen missed Wednesday's game because of his sprained left shoulder and isn't expected to accompany the Cardinals to New York for the start of a series Friday night, according to the AP. "I don't feel any better," Rolen said. "If anything I probably feel a little worse." |
| May 11, 2005 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that X-rays taken on Scott Rolen last night revealed no bone damage, but the severity of the sprained shoulder he sustained in the game won't be known until at least today. |
| May 10, 2005 Scott Rolen left Tuesday's game with a sprained left shoulder suffered in a collision with Hee Seop Choi. The Cardinals announced that Rolen would have precautionary X-rays. Rolen suffered a separated left shoulder in the 2002 postseason. |
| May 4, 2005 Scott Rolen returned to action on Wednesday night after missing two games with a sore upper back and went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run. |
| May 3, 2005 Barring significant improvement, Scott Rolen is likely to miss the Cardinals' next two games because of his sore upper back, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Rolen sat out last night's game with the ailment, which he began to feel on Sunday. |
| May 2, 2005 Scott Rolen did not play for the Cardinals on Monday because of a sore upper back. It was the first time all season that he was out of the starting lineup. |
