Adam Wainwright - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lined up for Saturday return Wainwright (groin) is likely to make his season debut with the Cardinals on Saturday against the Tigers, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Wainwright has looked pretty hittable during his three-start minor-league rehab assignment between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis, yielding nine earned runs on 18 hits and two walks over 13 innings. Still, the Cardinals will hope that the veteran right-hander can help stabilize their pitching staff now that he is recovered from the groin strain that popped up in late March. Even with diminished velocity -- which remains an issue -- Wainwright worked to a solid 3.71 ERA across 191.2 innings for St. Louis in 2022.

Looks sharp in latest rehab start Wainwright (groin) covered 5.2 innings and gave up four earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A Memphis.

Impact Though he surrendered a three-run home run in the second inning that dinged his final line, Wainwright otherwise looked much sharper in his third rehab outing after he struck out only four batters in 7.1 innings across his first two starts at Double-A Springfield. He finished the day with 89 pitches, spotting 61 of them for strikes. With Wainwright now fully stretched out and faring well in a rehab start, he looks poised to return from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut with the Cardinals during this upcoming weekend's series with the Tigers. Expect either Jake Woodford or Steven Matz to move to the bullpen to open up a rotation spot for Wainwright.

Next rehab outing scheduled Wainwright (groin) will pitch in his third rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Memphis, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wainwright has made two starts with St. Louis' minor-league affiliates and managed to complete 4.1 innings his last time out. In total, he's managed a 4:1 K:BB while allowing five earned runs across 7.1 frames in those two outings. His target is 90 pitches Sunday, meaning if all goes well he should be set to rejoin the big-league rotation in early May.

One more rehab start Wainwright (groin) will make one more rehab start at Triple-A Memphis, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Impact The date of his third rehab start isn't clear, but Sunday would be regular rest. Wainwright has been knocked around a bit in his first two rehab outings, yielding five runs on 11 hits with a 4:1 K:BB over 7.1 innings. This means Jake Woodford should get one more turn in the Cards' rotation and Wainwright will be set up to return next weekend at home against the Tigers.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling on rehab assignment Wainwright (groin) allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk over 4 1/3 innings in Tuesday's rehab start with Double-A Springfield, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wainwright struck out just one on the night. The veteran right-hander has now allowed five runs on 11 hits with a 4:1 K:BB over 7.1 innings over his two rehab outings. Woo says the Cardinals are still deciding whether to give him a third rehab start or re-insert him into the rotation. If Wainwright does make his next start with the big club, it could come as soon as Sunday in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed for rehab start Tuesday Wainwright (groin) will make his next rehab start for Double-A Springfield on Tuesday against Wichita, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Wainwright will throw around 75 pitches against the Wind Surge in his second rehab start since being placed on the injured list with a groin strain. The right-hander could return to the Cardinals rotation shortly after to make his season debut in what has been announced as Wainwright's final season in the majors, but that will at least be partially be determined by his results for Springfield on Tuesday.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws three innings in rehab debut Wainwright (groin) allowed two earned runs on four hits over three innings Wednesday in his rehab debut with Double-A Springfield. He issued no walks and struck out three.

Impact Wainwright gave up a two-run homer but was otherwise fairly sharp in the 59-pitch outing against the Double-A affiliate of the Athletics. 40 of those 59 pitches were strikes. The veteran right-hander is scheduled for one more minor-league rehab start, likely next Tuesday with Springfield. He should then be cleared to make his season debut for the Cardinals, around five weeks after suffering a groin strain while working out with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needs two rehab starts Wainwright (groin) will make two rehab starts before rejoining the Cardinals' rotation, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The first one will come Wednesday at Double-A Springfield, when he's set to throw 55-60 pitches. He'll then throw around 75 pitches five days after that before being re-evaluated. Assuming he looks and feels fine, that would set Wainwright up for a season debut as soon as April 29 in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for rehab start Wednesday Wainwright (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact It had been slated for Tuesday, but giving Wainwright an extra day will allow him to throw a few more pitches Wednesday. It will also line him up to pitch the same day as Jake Woodford, whose rotation spot he's likely to take. It's not clear how many rehab outings Wainwright will require, but he's on track for a return before the end of the month.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could make rehab start Tuesday Wainwright (groin) said Friday that he expects to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Springfield, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Wainwright drew strong reviews after facing live hitters in a simulated setting Friday at Busch Stadium and is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a groin strain he suffered in late March. It's not clear how many rehab starts are lined up, but the veteran right-hander will almost certainly be ready to join the Cardinals' struggling rotation before the end of April.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To face hitters Friday Wainwright (groin) will face live hitters Friday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Lars Nootbaar (thumb) will be one of those hitters. Wainwright has been sidelined since he strained his groin during a weight training session with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, but he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week and appears on track to join the Cardinals' rotation before the end of April.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To face live hitters soon Wainwright (groin) is expected to face live hitters Friday or Saturday, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Impact Wainwright made it through another bullpen session Tuesday, delivering two sets of 20 pitches, and is now ready to take the next step in his recovery from a groin strain. The current hope is that the veteran right-hander will be able to make his 2023 regular-season debut sometime before the end of April, but he'll surely need a minor-league rehab assignment first.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another bullpen coming Tuesday Wainwright (groin) completed a bullpen session before Sunday's game against the Brewers and will throw another session Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The Cardinals and Wainwright will figure out the next steps for the right-hander after he repeats his workload from Sunday on Tuesday. Jones notes that will likely include hitters and could be a rehab appearance or a live BP setting. Wainwright is on the injured list with a groin strain just before the start of the season, and he has a chance to return to the St. Louis rotation before the end of April.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for another bullpen session Wainwright (groin) is scheduled for another bullpen session Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wainwright made it through a 28-pitch side session Thursday without issue and could soon embark on a minor-league rehab assignment if Sunday's workout also goes smoothly. The veteran right-hander was placed on the injured list just before Opening Day after suffering a groin strain while doing weight training with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Jake Woodford is currently filling his spot in the Cardinals' rotation.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for another bullpen session Wainwright (groin) will throw another bullpen session Thursday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wainwright throw off a mound Monday for the first time since his groin strain and it went well, clearing the way for another bullpen session Thursday. A rehab assignment shouldn't be too far off, putting the veteran right-hander on track to return before the end of April if all goes well.

APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Wainwright (groin) threw a bullpen session Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The Cardinals' medical staff will take a look at Wainwright following the throwing session before it's determined when he might be able to start a rehab assignment. The veteran right-hander is working his way back from a groin strain which he suffered shortly before Opening Day. Jake Woodford is filling Wainwright's spot in the St. Louis rotation.

Placed on 15-day IL Wainwright (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Impact Wainwright is projected to miss the first month of the 2023 regular season because of a groin strain that he suffered during a workout with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Miles Mikolas is taking the ball for the Cardinals on Opening Day.

Playing catch from 120 feet Wainwright (groin) has played catch from 120 feet as part of his throwing program, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The Cardinals are still formulating a plan for Wainwright to get back to other baseball activities as he works his way back from a groin strain. A rough initial timetable has called for him to miss several weeks, so he might be absent for most, if not all, of April.
