Grapefruit League Play Begins This Weekend for St. Louis Cardinals

(Jupiter) Spring training is underway in Florida for the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Birds will figure out the best path for starting pitcher Miles Mikolas to take as he deals with a sore flexor tendon in his forearm.

That’s something Manager Mike Shildt says he’s been dealing with since the end of last season.

With the Mikolas injury issue, Shildt says Carlos Martinez could find his way back into the starting rotation.

Grapefruit League games begin this weekend for the Cardinals.

St. Louis will play the New York Mets Saturday and Sunday at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida.

The first game of the 2020 season is Thursday, March 26th when the Birds battle the Reds in Cincinnati.
