JUPITER, Fla. (KMOX) -- Through two days of spring training, the Cardinals have sent two pitchers for medical examinations on their throwing shoulders.
Monday, it was reliever Alex Reyes.
Tuesday, it was starting pitcher Jack Flaherty.
A team official confirmed Tuesday afternoon that Flaherty had an examination of his right shoulder earlier in the day. The Cardinals expected to learn more from that exam later Tuesday night or perhaps Wednesday morning.
Flaherty, the ace of the staff in 2021, suffered an oblique strain while batting on May 31. He returned on August 13, but was placed on the injured list nearly two weeks later with a right shoulder strain. He finished the season after being activated on September 24.
