Mark Mulder (90 DXL/$0.2 million)
The Cardinals watched Mulder get knocked around at Double- and Triple-A before finally saying they'd seen enough. He was checked out and found to have a mild rotator cuff strain. It's not likely the cause, but it is enough to stop his rehab and give him a chance to regroup and work on strengthening the shoulder, and then seeing if they can find what still seems lost. Shoulder injuries are tough to come back from, and seeing the course of Mulder's injury history (which really matches the run of UTK) is interesting, going from his hip to his back to his shoulder. Once again, we see the kinetic chain in effect, cascading from spot to spot and finding the weakest link. Mulder's unlikely at this point to find much that he hasn't already found, but there's still something in there, and as long as he's willing to try, the Cards have to continue giving him the opportunity.
