The St. Louis Cardinals have called up a catcher because they're not sure how long Jason LaRue will be sidelined by injuries sustained in a brawl with the Cincinnati Reds.
With Jason LaRue unavailable due to injuries sustained in last night’s fracas, the Cardinals purchased the contract of Double-A catcher Steven Hill to provide insurance should something happen today to starter Yadier Molina.
Jason LaRue’s concussion and Jeff Suppan’s groin injury have created an opportunity for Springfield catcher Steven Hill to become a major leaguer.
With the St. Louis Cardinals in the first day of dealing with reserve catcher Jason LaRue's apparent concussion sustained at the cleats of Cincinnati Reds' pitcher Johnny Cueto, the club made a pair of roster moves on Wednesday.
The St. Louis Cardinals called up catcher Steven Hill from Double-A Springfield late Tuesday night, hours after big-league back-up Jason LaRue suffered an apparent concussion in the wake of the Redbirds-Reds fracas.
