Cardinals Being Careful With Jordan Hicks' Usage; Kolten Wong Sits Again, Sparking Roster Move;

Their starting rotation anchored by rookies, the Cardinals, more than any other team, have had to walk something of a tightrope road back to contention. Behind the scenes, Cardinals brass has spent large chunks of the last few months brainstorming ways to strike a balance between short-term goals and the long-term health of their young arms. Their solutions have been subtle -- an extra day of rest here, a spot starter there -- mapped out with an eye toward protecting Jack Flaherty, Austin Gomber, John Gant and Dakota Hudson, all of whom have either approached career-high workloads or eclipsed them.
