Two of the young arms the Cardinals are counting on for the future will be on the mound tonight–Jack Flaherty for St. Louis and Dakota Hudson for Memphis. This will be the fourth big league start for Flaherty, who began the season with Hudson in Springfield (AA) and again in Memphis.
The Cardinals have also announced pitcher Adam Wainwright has been activated from the disabled list and will be available out of the bullpen for tonight’s game. Wainwright has been rehabbing through an elbow impingement over the last four weeks.
