| Player Notes |
| September 24, 2008 Adam Wainwright will finish the year 11-3 after Wednesday night's victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a shaky outing for Wainwright who lasted six innings, walked five and gave up seven hits. |
| September 13, 2008 Adam Wainwright was rocked for six earned runs on nine hits over four innings of work in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Pirates, with two walks and three strikeouts. He also went 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored. |
| September 7, 2008 Adam Wainwright had a great outing against the Marlins, throwing eight innings and allowing just one run on six hits while striking out six in the Cardinals 3-1 win. |
| September 4, 2008 The St. Louis Cardinals may push pitcher Adam Wainwright's next start back a day so he can pitch the first game in a series with the Chicago Cubs, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| September 3, 2008 Adam Wainwright was excellent for the Cardinals in their 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks, going 5.1 innings and giving up just one run on three hits while striking out seven. |
| August 27, 2008 Adam Wainwright allowed three runs, two earned, and threw 89 pitches in his second start coming off the 15-day disabled list from a finger injury that sidelined him for two months. |
| August 27, 2008 Tonight will be Adam Wainwright's second start since coming off the DL with a sprained middle finger. In his first start Wainwright went six innings, struck out four, gave up one run and got the win against the Braves. If the Cardinals want to stay in the chase for the NL Wild Card they need Wainwright in top form. |
| August 22, 2008 Adam Wainwright came off the DL and proceeded to go six innings, surrendering just one run to the Braves while striking out four. He also contributed at the plate by going 3-for-5 in the Cardinals 18-3 demolition of the Braves. |
| August 20, 2008 Adam Wainwright will be activated from the DL and start on Friday against the Braves, according to the FSN Midwest telecast. Manager Tony La Russa said that this doesn't necessarily mean Wainwright will be coming back permanently as a starter and that they will continue to evaluate their options. |
| August 19, 2008 Adam Wainwright is ready to face big league hitters, though whether he will come back as a reliever or as a starter is not yet resolved, according to MLB.com. |
| August 19, 2008 Adam Wainwright's role with the team will be in part determined by how Chris Carpenter fares in his throwing today, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. If Carpenter feels good, Wainwright will probably come back as a reliever, otherwise he could resume his role as a starter. |
| August 17, 2008 Adam Wainwright said he is ready for whatever role the Cardinals have planned for him as he felt good after his rehab outing with Double-A Springfield Saturday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has been rehabbing a severely sprained right middle finger and said, "I feel like I'm ready, for sure. Eighty pitches would be no problem. Eighty-five would be no problem. I'm ready for that. I just have to wait and see what role I'm in." He hurled 4.2 scoreless innings Saturday, and threw 64 pitches with seven strikeouts. The hitches in his delivery from his previous outing were also corrected. |
| August 13, 2008 Adam Wainwright will start Saturday for Double-A Springfield, and his pitch count will increase to 65 or 70 pitches, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Cardinals pushed his start back one day and raised his pitch count to get him ready in case he's needed as a starting pitcher. Facing uncertainty with the ailing Chris Carpenter, the Cardinals want Wainwright to be available for either role, starter or, potentially closer. GM John Mozeliak said, "We want to keep everything on the table as an option. We decided we didn't want to get Wainwright in a position where he's throwing 25 pitches, 25 pitches and then, oh wait, we need him as a starter." |
| August 12, 2008 Adam Wainwright allowed two runs over three innings in his minor league rehab appearance Monday for Triple-A Memphis. |
| August 9, 2008 Adam Wainwright struggled in his first rehab outing for Triple-A Memphis, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Being groomed as a reliever, Wainwright was on a 25 pitch limit, and he used them to get just two outs, allowing three runs on four hits while walking one and striking one batter out. |
| August 6, 2008 The Cardinals have perhaps tipped their hand as to their future plans for Adam Wainwright, who is coming back from a sprained right middle finger. The righty will go on a rehab assignment Friday and will pitch every two or three days, an indication that he'll be used in relief when he returns to active duty, according to MLB.com. "We're going to limit his pitch count and then have him go more on an every-couple-of-days schedule from there," GM John Mozeliak said. "Not drawing any conclusions, but [using Wainwright in relief] is still on the table. Clearly, we think getting him back in the bullpen sooner, rather than later as a starter, could address some immediate needs." |
| August 5, 2008 St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright threw 35 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday and will begin what he hopes is a short rehab stint later this week, according to the Associated Press. |
| August 2, 2008 Adam Wainwright threw a bullpen session on Saturday, and the AP reports he is close to returning from a sprained middle finger that has kept him on the DL for nearly two months. He said, "Im very shocked right now. I cant believe how good I threw. I told the training staff before I threw today, I said the last two days Ive felt a 200 percent difference in my hand, just holding stuff, grabbing things, even grabbing a remote or something. It just felt good all of a sudden. Today I went at it 100 percent and tested it completely." |
| July 31, 2008 Cardinals hurler Adam Wainwright had a bullpen session in which he threw 25 breaking balls and felt good, according to StLCardinals.com. "I'm getting close, man. I'm a few steps away. I'm not far at all," he said. |
| July 30, 2008 Adam Wainwright will throw at least two more bullpen sessions in his attempt to come back from an injured finger after suffering a setback on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Wainwright will throw breaking balls on Thursday and then a normal bullpen on Saturday before being allowed to face hitters. |
| July 30, 2008 Adam Wainwright, who is trying to bounce back from a sprained right middle finger, is no longer scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday after struggling during a pen session Tuesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| July 29, 2008 Adam Wainwright, recovering from a sprained right middle finger, will begin a rehab assignment Friday with an abbreviated start, probably with Double-A Springfield, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Pitching coach Dave Duncan did not project Wainwright's role upon returning, but the team has discussed using the righty in the closer role. |
| July 27, 2008 Adam Wainwright, who is recovering from a sprained right middle finger, threw 55 pitches in a bullpen session at Shea Stadium on Saturday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He worked in the first six or seven breaking balls he has thrown in seven weeks. He stated that he wasn't pleased with his control but it was the first time that he "really juiced it." He was instructed not to throw any curveballs. |
| July 25, 2008 Adam Wainwright threw in a pen session Thursday as he continues to recover from his sprained right middle finger, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| July 23, 2008 Adam Wainwright has been cleared to throw off a mound and had a 40-pitch workout in the Cardinals' bullpen Tuesday as he recovers from a sprained right middle finger, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He threw fastballs and changeups during the session, and will move up to his curveball next. "It felt like I wanted to feel, it felt natural," Wainwright said. "I've got some joint stiffness that has to break down, but otherwise it's about building my pitch count up... "Best case?" he said earlier. "Two and a half weeks, maybe." |
| July 20, 2008 Adam Wainwright, who is recovering from a sprained right middle finger, is scheduled to meet with team doctors Monday to get clearance to throw off a mound early next week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| July 16, 2008 Adam Wainwright continues to progress well in his comeback from and injured middle finger and hopes to return to the hill for the Cardinals the first week of August, according to MLB.com. "I think it's healed exactly like it's supposed to," Wainwright said. "...I have every confidence that as soon as I get into my brain that my finger is healthy, I'll be fine." |
| July 10, 2008 Adam Wainwright has made good progress with his right middle finger injury and is continuing a throwing program that will see him re-evaluated after the All-Star break, according to StLCardinals.com. |
| July 8, 2008 Adam Wainwright's ruptured ligament in his right middle finger has healed well enough to begin a throwing program this week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Wainwright will start a light throwing program on Wednesday and could move on to more aggressive workouts when the team returns from the All-Star break. |
| July 1, 2008 Adam Wainwright hopes to receive good news from doctors in regards to the ruptured "pulley" in his finger so that he can resume throwing with a target date of returning to action right after the All-Star break, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| June 11, 2008 Adam Wainwright will not need surgery to fix his sprained right middle finger, but GM John Mozeliak expects Wainwright to miss at least three weeks, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has a tear of a "pulley" that connects to the finger's flexor tendon. The injury is less severe than a tear of the flexor tendon itself, but it is not considered minor. "I would call it significant," Mozeliak said. "I don't think he'll be back before three weeks. But it's really difficult to put a timetable on it right now." |
| June 10, 2008 Adam Wainwright has officially been placed on the DL, according to MLB.com. He has a sprained right middle finger. The move is retroactive to June 8. |
| June 9, 2008 The Cardinals will place Adam Wainwright on the DL Tuesday with a sprained right middle finger, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Wainwright on Monday met with team doctors, who prescribed rest for the injury. The righty will be re-evaluated later this week to see if rest and ongoing treatment will permit him to begin throwing again. |
| June 8, 2008 Adam Wainwright will fly to St. Louis Sunday and meet with team doctors Monday to determine the severity of the sprained finger injury that forced him from Saturday's start, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The righty felt some soreness and loss of feeling in his right middle finger during his warm-up, and he felt a pop in the finger when he tried to throw a curveball to the second batter of the sixth inning. He couldn't get any pressure on his next pitch and motioned for team trainer Barry Weinberg. "At that point, I realized I had no more business being in the game because I couldn't grip the ball," Wainwright said. "The feeling is exactly like a jammed finger. It's not swollen like it's jammed, but I can't bend it like it's jammed and I can't put any pressure on it." |
| June 7, 2008 Adam Wainwright was forced to leave his start on Saturday with a sprained right finger, according to the Associated Press. |
| June 2, 2008 It took seven innings, but the Pirates finally got to Adam Wainwright on Monday night. Wainwright tossed six scoreless before serving up four runs (a grand slam) in the seventh frame and another run in the eighth. He took the loss and slipped to 5-3. |
| May 28, 2008 St.Louis RHP Adam Wainwright was on his game this evening as his Cardinals posted the 6-1 victory over Houston. Wainwright pitched eight innings, allowing just one run on three hits with just one walk and eight strikeouts. |
| May 17, 2008 Adam Wainwright struggled for the second straight start against Tampa Bay on Saturday. The right hander allowed four runs on 12 hits in 5.2 innings. It would have been worst but the Rays continued to run themselves out of innings. |
| May 12, 2008 Adam Wainwright didn't have his typical "stuff" on Monday night and suffered his worst outing of the year. The right-hander allowed eight runs (six earned) on eight hits, walked one and struck out three in the loss to the Brewers. |
| May 7, 2008 St. Louis RHP Adam Wainwright failed to earn the victory (leaving with no decision), but the starter put his best on the mound to help the Cardinals fight in a 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Wainwright pitched seven full innings, holding the Rockies without a single run on just four hits, walking two and striking out three. |
| April 21, 2008 Adam Wainwright continued his impressive start to the season by holding the Brewers to two runs in seven innings on Monday night. Wainright allowed four hits, four walks and struck out six Brewers. |
| April 16, 2008 Adam Wainwright twirled a five hitter for 7.2 innings to pick up his second victory of the season against the Brewers. Wainwright allowed just one earned run and five hits on the night as he struck out six. |
| April 11, 2008 Following a strong first start, Adam Wainwright was dealt his first loss of the season against San Francisco on Thursday as he allowed four runs on eight hits over seven innings, with no walks and six strikeouts. The Cardinals' acting ace should bounce back fine, and his fantasy stock remains steady. |
| April 5, 2008 Adam Wainwright needed 107 pitches to hold the Nationals to just two runs over eight innings for the Cardinals to pick up his first win of the season. Wainwright allowed eight hits and one walk while striking out four. Wainwright will look to at least duplicated his production of last season (14 wins and 3.70 ERA), though a better goal might be for him to try and limit baserunners as last years 1.40 WHIP is far too high for a top flight starter. |
| April 1, 2008 The Cardinals will not move Adam Wainwright up to pitch on short rest, despite the fact that he threw just three innings Monday before the game was rained out. He'll make his second start on Saturday against the Nationals, as planned. "We've got the other guys ready to go," said manager Tony La Russa on MLB.com. "It would disrupt everybody." Wainwright owners got cheated out of a start this week. Mother nature can be cruel sometimes. |
| March 26, 2008 Adam Wainwright enjoyed another solid outing against Baltimore on Wednesday as he only allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over six innings of work, with two walks and four strikeouts. The Cardinals' current ace holds a solid 3.38 ERA this spring. |
| March 21, 2008 Adam Wainwright, a day after signing a big contract, allowed nine hits and four runs in 4.2 innings, this according to the AP. It was just a weird day. I knew I could get outs on some off-speed stuff, but I wanted to use my fastball and didnt do a good job of locating it, he said. Wainwright should be fine, and if he isn't the Cards may not win 50 games this season. The team needs at least another 14 wins from their ace this season, but there are some who are concerned about the workload the youngster handled last season (202 IP). |
| March 20, 2008 As anticipated, Adam Wainwright signed a new deal with the Cardinals on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. It is a four-year deal with club options for 2012 and 2013. Financial terms were not revealed. |
| March 20, 2008 Adam Wainwright is reportedly awaiting a new deal, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. He is the acting "ace" while Carpenter is on the shelf, and the lucrative new deal is expected to make him a cornerstone to the team through 2013. |
| March 15, 2008 Adam Wainwright looked like an "ace" for the Cardinals on Saturday as he only allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits over five innings against the Mets. He had two strikeouts and only one walk and remains the Cardinals number one starter. |
| March 5, 2008 Adam Wainwright really struggled on Wednesday, a day after he agreed to terms with the Cardinals. Wainwright allowed five hits, three walks and three runs against the Marlins. Its one thing to go out there and do well every time out, but its another to go out and struggle and learn from it," Wainwright said to the AP. Wainwright will be fine, or at least he better be as the Cardinals are counting on him to be their number one hurler this season. |
| March 4, 2008 Adam Wainwright agreed to terms on a one-year contract Tuesday, according to the AP. The tall right-hander will make $438,000 if he makes the team and $246,000 if hes in the minors. Since Wainwright is expected to be the Cardinals opening day starter, you can count on him making $438K. |
| February 25, 2008 Adam Wainwright is set to be the clubs opening day starter, according to the St Louis Post Dispatch. While the report notes that nothing has been made official by skipper Tony La Russa, the right-hander, and No. 1 of the staff by default, will make his spring debut Friday against the New York Mets. Wainwright led the team in wins (14), innings pitched (202), strikeouts (136) and had the third best ERA in the NL after the break last summer. |
