The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to today’s game that they have recalled right-handed pitcher John Brebbia from Memphis (AAA) and placed right-handed pitcher Adam Wainwright (right elbow inflammation) on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to April 20.
Brebbia, who was optioned to Memphis on April 19, gained a save that night with 1.2 scoreless innings of relief and four strikeouts in the Redbirds 2-1 win at Omaha.
Brebbia appeared in two games in relief for St. Louis earlier this season following an April 8 recall from Memphis, working 2.0 scoreless innings.
Wainwright posted his first win of the 2018 campaign last Tuesday (April 17) in a 5-3 decision over the Cubs. Wainwright is 1-2 with a 3.45 ERA in his three starts (15.2 IP) this season.
