Paul Goldschmidt's Elbow; Andrew Miller Encouraged By Strong Bullpen; Around The Horn; Up Next

Paul Goldschmidt was held out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Mets due to right elbow soreness, the same discomfort that the Cardinals first baseman dealt with at the beginning of Grapefruit League games. After skipping the Cardinals’ two-day trip to the other side of the state, it will be Goldschmidt’s third straight day missing games.

Andrew Knizner, Jack Flaherty, Brad Miller Notes; Up Next

This camp means more to Andrew Knizner. In 2019, he got his first taste of the big league opportunity that lies in store for him should he break camp with the team this month. That experience came with modest results, and like the film junkie has made a point of his entire career, he learned from it.

Luke Weaver Putting New Spin On Old School Approach

By the end of last season, Luke Weaver says, opposing hitters began to figure him out. Few starting pitchers were more spin-averse than the 23-year-old righty, who navigated most of the 60 1/3-innings of his rookie season with just two distinct pitches, adding and subtracting from them all the way.
