Cards' Goldschmidt looking for consistent swing (02/21 4:27 pm)JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- Paul Goldschmidt never found consistency with his swing last season. Poor swings that yield ugly results early in this year's spring training games may actually prevent that from happening again this season. "That can allow you to make adjustments where sometimes (positive) results can cover up some things." Goldschmidt said... -
Martinez eyes Cardinals rotation spot with Mikolas sidelined (02/20 1:47 pm)JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- The health of Carlos Martinez's shoulder is even more important for the St. Louis Cardinals now that Miles Mikolas will miss the first few weeks of the season because of an inflamed flexor tendon. Shoulder weakness last spring training following off-season surgery prompted the Cardinals to shift Martinez to the bullpen. He eventually replaced injured Jordan Hicks as closer, saving 24 games in 27 chances... -

(AP) -- St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas was scratched from his second bullpen session of the spring because of a flexor tendon issue.

Cardinals hope to build on NLCS run with very similar lineup (02/07 12:23 pm)Jack Flaherty found it much more difficult to walk around the St. Louis Cardinals' annual fan festival without getting noticed this year, a byproduct of a breakout season in which he established himself as one of the game's best pitchers.
