I need that nice easy swing, get everything going easy first and then I turn it up a notch." |

| June 21, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Saturday and is optimistic he can return to the rotation on Thursday, according to MLB.com. "Everything felt pretty good," he said. "My slider felt back to normal. I was getting out over it. Felt great." Wellemeyer has missed two of his last three starts with elbow stiffness. |
| June 21, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer will throw a bullpen session on Saturday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

| June 17, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer's spot in the rotation will be skipped Thursday, as the righty needs some time to rest his irritated elbow, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

| June 16, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer is listed as the Cardinals' starter for Thursday, but the team will wait until he completes a Tuesday bullpen to make an exact decision, as he has been suffering from elbow and forearm pain, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
| June 15, 2008 According to the St Louis Post Dispatch, starting pitcher Todd Wellemeyer was examined Saturday morning after admitting to elbow and forearm discomfort during and after Friday night's 10-out appearance against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wellemeyer described himself as "gator-arming" the ball in his last two innings as he found it impossible to straighten his elbow. "If it doesn't improve, I'm telling them I can't pitch," he said. "I'm not going out there to be a hero." |
| June 13, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer got two easy outs to start the game, but then ran into the bats of Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell who hit back-to-back-to-back home runs and the rout was on. The three consecutive home runs was the seventh time in franchise history, and the first time since May 18, 2004, against the Dodgers when Bobby Abreu, Burrell and Jim Thome connected in succession. Wellemeyer allowed eight runs on eight hits, walked three and struck out three in 3.1 innings of work. |
| June 13, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer will be seeking his eighth win of the season when the Cardinals host the Phillies tonight, according to MLB.com. |
| June 9, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer will rejoin the Cardinals rotation when the team returns home to face Philadelphia this weekend, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The righty, who was supposed to pitch Tuesday but is resting a sore elbow, will likely take the ball on Saturday. |
| June 8, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer said his right elbow felt better Saturday than it has in a week, but the righty will still miss his next scheduled start, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "It's nothing serious," said Wellemeyer. "I felt it after my start against Pittsburgh (May 30) and again Thursday's game. It was enough to get it checked out. But it feels better. My body is resilient." The Cards left open the possibility that Wellemeyer could simply be pushed back a couple days, but it's more likely that he'll just be skipped altogether. An MRI on the elbow was negative, though it did reveal inflammation, a mild stress reaction and a slight impingement. |
| June 6, 2008 An MRI Friday on Todd Wellemeyer's elbow came back negative. However, the right-hander's next start is still in question. |
| June 6, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer did not travel with the Cardinals to Houston but instead flew to St. Louis to meet with team doctors to have what manager Tony La Russa described as a "soreness near his biceps" checked out, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The team is officially referring to the pitcher's ailment as right elbow inflammation. La Russa said there Wellemeyer's next start might be in question. "You always treat it like it's a big deal," La Russa said, "and hope for the best." |
| June 5, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer threw six scoreless innings, with five hits allowed, in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Nationals, with one walk issued and five strikeouts. |
| June 4, 2008 Wednesday night's game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals was rained out. The contest will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Thursday. |
| May 30, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer only surrendered one run on six hits over seven innings in Friday's close 5-4 victory over the Pirates, with two walks and four strikeouts. The only run allowed came on a Nate McLouth homer. |
| May 25, 2008 St. Louis RHP Todd Wellemeyer pitched well today, but the offense and relief pitching failed to support the effort as the Cardinals took the 4-3 loss against the Dodgers. Wellemeyer pitched six innings, giving up three runs (all earned) on five hits without surrendering a single walk, pitching four strikeouts along the way. |
| May 19, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer improved to 5-1 on the year thanks to six innings of two-run ball for the Cardinals. Wellemeyer had success on the night despite only two K and three BB against the Padres. |
| May 14, 2008 The Pirates managed to find just four hits in their bats this evening as they suffered the 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, all but dominated by RHP Todd Wellemeyer in earning his fourth win of the season. Wellemeyer pitched seven innings, giving up a lowly one run on an even lowlier two hits. He walked three, struck out five, and did so on 11 fly outs mixed with five grounders. |
| May 4, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer improved to 3-1 with a victory against the Cubs on Sunday night. He held the rival to three hits and two runs over five innings. Wellemeyer mixed in four walks and four strikeouts. |
| April 28, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer allowed only two hits in his last three innings, but struggled through the first three giving up four runs on five hits. The right-hander struck out five and walked two in the 4-3 loss to the Reds. |
| April 23, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer hurled six innings and allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk to the Pirates. |
| April 23, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer will be aiming for a 3-0 start when he takes the mound against the Pirates tonight, according to MLB.com. He also holds a 3.24 ERA, with 26 strikeouts over 25 innings. |
| April 18, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer continues to make Dave Duncan look like a genius as he held the Giants to just one run over seven innings to pick up win number two on the season. |
| April 7, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer had another excellent outing for the Cardinals on Monday as he limited the Astros to five hits, one walk and two runs in seven innings. Wellmeyer allowed two solo home runs on the evening, but this performance, combined with the work of other Cardinals starters, has turned a major concern into a huge strength thus far. |
| April 2, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer struck out six batters in five innings for the Cardinals on his way to his first victory of the season. Wellemeyer allowed only one run on the night though he did allow seven baserunners. The Cardinals are in desperate need of arms in the starting rotation, and this is exactly the type of performance they were hoping to get from Todd. |
| March 16, 2008 Hopes of working towards a spot in the starting rotation remain alive but are in trouble for Todd Wellemeyer, according to MLB.com. Wellemeyer allowed four hits and three runs through five innings today in a 3-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The arm that worked in a relief mode last season walked just one and garnered three strike outs in the outing, but two home runs surrendered indicate there is still work to be done. Some offensive support would have been nice (just nine total hits for the Cards), but mistakes made ruled the story of the day. |
| March 6, 2008 Todd Wellemeyer was stretched out on Thursday and fared well for three innings. The Cardinals right-hander ran into trouble in the fourth and left after 3.2 innings of work. Wellemeyer allowed two runs on two hits, with four walks and four Ks. Wellemeyer was serviceable last year with the Cards. He finished the season with 11 starts, a 3-3 record, 4.54 ERA and struck out 60 in 79 innings of work. As was the case today his control is his Achilles. The righty walked 40 batters in '07. |
| January 29, 2008 The Cardinals avoided arbitration with Todd Wellemeyer by signing the right-hander to a one-year, $1 million deal Monday. Wellemeyer's ERA was 1.26 in 14 1/3 innings as a reliever for the Cardinals, though he could compete for a rotation job this spring. |
