Jon Jay leaves the game with a sprained shoulder

The Cardinals are kind of a juggernaut at the moment, and one of the reasons they’re so remarkable is that they’ve been doing what they’ve been doing despite a number of injuries.

But at some point that ceases to be neat and starts to be concerning. Maybe that point is today, as they saw yet another player go down: Jon Jay, who left this afternoon’s Cardinals-Reds game after slamming into the center field wall for no apparent reason.

The shoulder is sprained, they say, and he shouldn’t go on the DL or anything -- he’s listed as day-to-day -- but the Cardinals probably don’t need any more banged up players.
