Impact The 24-year-old surrendered both runs in the first inning on consecutive RBI singles by Michael Conforto and Javier Baez. It was the second consecutive four-inning outing for the right hander as the Cardinals have capped his innings. In his last three starts, he has posted a strong 2.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 13.1 innings. He's projected to start next versus the Brewers on Monday.

Remains in rotation Woodford is listed as the Cardinals' starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Woodford was added to the rotation last week as a replacement for Kwang Hyun Kim, who was moved into a bullpen role. The 24-year-old Woodford was capped at four innings in his Sept. 9 start, but he acquitted himself well against a tough Dodgers lineup, allowing only one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three. He should be able to work deeper into Tuesday's outing, taking on a Mets squad that was shut down by Adam Wainwright in Monday's series opener.

Pitches well in no-decision Woodford gave up one run on three hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across four innings during Thursday's win over the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Woodford held his own against a volatile Dodgers lineup with his only blemish of the day coming from an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third. With his successful outing, the right-hander is expected to remain in the rotation for at least another turn, which tentatively lines up for next week against the Mets in New York. Across 22 games (four starts) this season, Woodford has compiled a 4.28 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.

Expected to start Thursday Woodford is expected to start Thursday against the Dodgers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals are still officially listing Thursday's starter as "TBD," but it seems clear that Woodford will be the one to get the nod. Kwang Hyun Kim will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday, while Woodford took batting practice with the rest of the Cardinals' starting pitchers, indicating that he'll be stepping into Kim's spot in the rotation.

Could get rotation look Cardinals manager Mike Shildt suggested that Woodford could replace Kwang Hyun Kim in the rotation when the latter's turn next comes up Thursday against the Dodgers in St. Louis, J...

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Woodford was initially expected to fill a multi-inning relief role for St. Louis over the final month of the season. He may have earned himself a look in the rotation, however, after he successfully filled in for a struggling Kim in Saturday's loss to Milwaukee. After Kim served up four runs on seven hits and a walk while lasting just 1.2 innings in the outing, Woodford came on to strike out five over 5.1 innings of long relief. Considering the Cardinals initially wanted to move Kim to the bullpen before Jack Flaherty's (shoulder) move to the injured list in late August altered those plans, it wouldn't be surprising if the southpaw now shifted to a relief role after Woodford had the chance to get stretched out for starting duty in the loss to Milwaukee.

Recalled from Triple-A Woodford was recalled from Triple-A Memphis prior to Friday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Junior Fernandez (shoulder strain) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Woodford will likely work as a long reliever while up with the big club.

Sent to minors Woodford was optioned to Triple-A Memphis.

Impact The 24-year-oldsurrendered seven runs over three innings during Saturday's start against the Twins, and he'll unsurprisingly exit the Cardinals' starting rotation with Jon Lester and J.A. Happ officially joining the team after being acquired at the trade deadline. Woodford started in his last three appearances for St. Louis but has primarily worked out of the bullpen this year and has a 5.08 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB across 39 innings.

Tagged for seven in loss Woodford (2-3) allowed seven runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts in three innings of work, taking the loss in Saturday's 8-1 defeat to the Twins.

Impact Woodford didn't have it from the jump Saturday night, as Minnesota got to him early and often. The right-hander allowed two to score in the first before five Twins crossed home under his watch in the third, punctuated by a Ryan Jeffers three-run home run. With deadline additions Jon Lester and J.A. Happ set to join the rotation in the coming days, Woodford is a strong candidate to yield his spot to one of the incoming veterans.

Hurls five innings in loss Woodford (2-2) took the loss against Cincinnati on Saturday, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact The right-hander kept the Cardinals in the game through his five frames, but he was outgunned by Reds starter Luis Castillo. Woodford induced only six swinging strikes and tallied just two strikeouts, yet he retired eight of the final nine batters he faced and was able to limit the damage against him to three runs. He'll carry a 4.25 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively slated to come at home against Minnesota next weekend.

Notches second win Woodford (2-1) allowed one run on six hits over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out six and earning a win over the Cubs.

Impact Woodford cruised through four shutout innings before running into trouble in the fifth. He found himself in a bases-loaded jam with no outs after allowing three straight singles but managed to escape the threat with just one run scoring against him. It was his first start of the season and he turned in a very impressive outing, lowering his season ERA to 4.06 through 31 innings. Woodford is projected to take the mound in Cincinnati this weekend.
