As announced Sunday on the St. Louis Cardinals’ official Twitter account ...
Walden felt discomfort in his right arm while warming up on Saturday afternoon. He told reporters after Saturday’s game that he’s not concerned, but it’s a scary situation for the Cardinals given how well the 27-year-old setup man pitched in April. Walden, the other piece St. Louis acquired in the Jason Heyward trade, owns a shiny 0.87 ERA and 12/4 K/BB ratio through 10 1/3 innings this season with his new team.
#STLCards place RHP Jordan Walden (right bicep inflammation) on 15-day DL. Recall RHP Sam Tuivailala from Memphis (AAA)

Walden felt discomfort in his right arm while warming up on Saturday afternoon. He told reporters after Saturday’s game that he’s not concerned, but it’s a scary situation for the Cardinals given how well the 27-year-old setup man pitched in April. Walden, the other piece St. Louis acquired in the Jason Heyward trade, owns a shiny 0.87 ERA and 12/4 K/BB ratio through 10 1/3 innings this season with his new team.
Tuivailala, a hard-throwing 22-year-old, had rattled off nine scoreless innings at Triple-A Memphis.
