ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals setup man Jordan Walden has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of an inflamed right biceps. Reliever Sam Tuivailala was recalled from Triple-A Memphis.
Walden stopped warming up in the eighth inning Saturday. He's 0-1 with an 0.87 ERA in 12 games with 12 strikeouts in 10 1/3 innings.
The Cardinals also said they would recall lefty Tyler Lyons from Memphis to start Tuesday against the Cubs.
