Cardinals' Michael Wacha (shoulder) throws off mound
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha (shoulder) resumed throwing from a mound Wednesday.
What It Means:
After the session, Wacha said he "felt really happy with the way it went." At this point in the season it's not an option to bring him back as a starter, but it's possible that the Cardinals use him as a reliever. Wacha has been sidelined early August because of a recurrence of his scapula issue. He owns a 4.45 ERA in 131 1/3 innings this season.
Wacha's xFIP is slightly better at 4.05, but his 19.1 strikeout percentage is below league average (21.0 percent). We currently project him to record a 4.47 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP over the remaining course of the season (16 innings).
