| Player Notes |
| July 2, 2007 The Cardinals activated Braden Looper, who was out with a right shoulder strain, from the DL in time to start Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, according to the AP. He was 6-6 with a 4.66 ERA in his first year as a starter before being disabled on June 16. |
| July 1, 2007 Braden Looper is expected to be activated off the DL and start on Monday against Arizona, the AP reports. Looper has been sidelined since June 16 with a sore pitching shoulder. |
| June 26, 2007 The Cardinals believe that Braden Looper may be able to come off the disabled list and start this weekend against the Reds, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Looper is out due to a right shoulder strain. |
| June 18, 2007 Braden Looper, who left his last start with shoulder stiffness, and was placed on the disabled list on Monday, according to the AP. Perhaps this injury shouldn't be seen as a surprise, as Looper has already pitched 10 more innings this year than he did all of last year out of the bullpen. This move means that, at least for the time being, Kip Wells' spot in the starting rotation is safe. |
| June 16, 2007 Braden Looper remains a question mark to make his next scheduled start Wednesday, though the team probably won't know more about his status until he is seen by a team doctor once back home. He started Friday's 14-3 loss, but had to leave with tightness in his right shoulder in the fifth. |
| June 15, 2007 Braden Looper left Friday's game against Oakland after getting Bobby Crosby to ground out to third base in the fifth inning, according to the AP. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa visited the mound with head trainer Barry Weinberg. There was nothing visibly wrong with Looper, but La Russa called for Andy Cavazos, who came in cold. |
| April 9, 2007 Braden Looper had another strong start Monday, throwing seven shutout innings at Pittsburgh. He allowed two hits, walked three and struck out three. |
| March 21, 2007 Braden Looper appears to be set as the No. 5 starter in the Cardinals rotation. He's got a 3.21 ERA in 14 spring innings, allowing 17 hits and five runs, with three walks and six strikeouts. |
| March 12, 2007 Braden Looper hurled 4 2/3 scoreless innings Monday, allowing four hits with no walks and three strikeouts. His ERA this spring now sits at 0.82, and he appears to be the clear front-runner for the last spot in the Cardinals rotation. |
| March 7, 2007 In his second start of the spring on Wednesday, Braden Looper pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings against the Dodgers, allowing four hits and striking out one. Looper, who has allowed just one run in 6 1/3 inning this spring, is currently considered the frontrunner to come away with the No. 5 spot in the Cardinals rotation. |
| March 2, 2007 Braden Looper got the start for the Cardinals in spring training action Friday. He was solid, giving up one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in three innings. A career reliever, Looper is trying to win the No. 5 spot in the Cards rotation. |
| February 28, 2007 Pitching coach Dave Duncan established converted reliever Braden Looper as the favorite to win the No. 5 spot in the Cardinals rotation, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Duncan also mentioned Ryan Franklin and Brad Thompson as possibilities. |
