JUPITER, Fla. -- Tyler Johnson professed relief on Tuesday regarding the condition of his ailing shoulder, but nonetheless, he will be held out of pitching for at least a week.

Johnson, who was scratched from a scheduled game appearance on Saturday, was diagnosed with a strained rotator cuff and tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. He underwent an MRI exam on Monday and got the results on Tuesday. He had been expecting the worst, so the diagnosis came as good news.
"Great news," Johnson said. "I don't have to have surgery. Any time you don't have to have surgery, it's great news. I wasn't sure if it was that bad, anyway. I was just feeling tired and a little weak. But I know now that there's nothing wrong, and I can go out there and do what I have to do."
Both Johnson and pitching coach Dave Duncan speculated that the problems may have resulted from Johnson trying to do too much, too fast.
"He said he had been throwing, and I was actually surprised that he threw the ball as good as he did," Duncan said. "Maybe he overdid it. He probably did a little too much early on. Put too much into it."
Though Johnson will be kept off a mound, he may throw some long toss while he is recuperating.
"I'm going to strengthen for that week," he said. "It's not that I can't throw, it's just that they want me to [work on] arm strength." Coming to terms: The Cardinals have agreed to terms with all of their arbitration-ineligible players, except for Anthony Reyes and Adam Wainwright, whose contracts were renewed by the club.

My uncle CHuegy is going to this game in Ft. Lauderdale. He's using my parents time share in Jupiter this week. Wish I was there but we're going next year. Go Cards!

Reyes -

Don't see his name in the lineup.

[Schwahalala]

What about Pujols? Is he playing today?

I guess he will make an appearance to mop up for Phelps.

[cardinalgirl]

Shannon and Rooney are on the radio. Barton had a bad time in the field this past inning.

[cardinalgirl]

Barton with a lead off single. Or Barden. Not sure which.

[cardinalgirl]

Barton because Izturis is up.

[sportschick]

BTW...Checked out the K'Wood hat auction this morning...Reyes and Mulder have higher bids on their hats than Carp and Wains...

[cardinalgirl]

I will put one last bid in tomorrow for the one I want. Albert's is a little out of my price range now.

[Schwahalala]

Rasmus drives in a run.

[Schwahalala]

2 - 1 after 2.

[Schwahalala]

Mora takes Reyes deep - 4 -1.
