Mark DeRosa’s left wrist responded favorably to his swings in the batting cage Thursday and the St. Louis Cardinals’ third baseman will graduate to batting practice today, but he conceded that the injury is not longer a matter of healing the tear but tolerating the tear.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Mark DeRosa was so encouraged after his batting practice session Friday that he couldn’t wait to lobby manager Tony La Russa. “I want to talk to him about it,” said DeRosa, who hoped that he’d see his name on the lineup card as early as Saturday.
