Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia did not throw a bullpen session scheduled for Saturday due to a sore groin, Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. He won’t make his start scheduled for Tuesday, but could start on Wednesday. There’s also a possibility he could simply miss this turn through the rotation.
Miklasz adds that manager Mike Matheny isn’t concerned; the Cardinals are simply being cautious with Garcia. The lefty dealt with a cramp near his groin during Wednesday’s start against the Cardinals.
Garcia, 28, made his season debut on May 28. He missed most of the first two months of the season due to shoulder issues. He currently owns a stellar 1.69 ERA with a 32/7 K/BB ratio in 48 innings over seven starts.
