2012: Minor League Contract
Share:

Latest News
Recent News
Cardinals released INF Alex Cora.
Cora was a longshot to make the Opening Day roster and served primarily in a mentor role with the Cardinals' less experienced infielders. Entering his age-36 season, he offers very little in the way of upside.
Mar 25 - 1:34 PM
Cardinals signed INF Alex Cora to a minor league contract.
Cora's contract comes with an invitation to spring training, where Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the 36-year-old will "serve as both competition and mentor for the club's group of less-experienced infielders." It doesn't sound like he has much of a shot at grabbing an Opening Day roster spot.
Feb 6 - 1:07 PM

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
According to MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez, the Cardinals are nearing a minor league deal with Alex Cora.
Cora batted just .224/.287/.276 in 172 plate appearances with the Nationals last season. The 36-year-old is doubtful to land a 25-man roster spot in St. Louis.
Feb 4 - 11:19 PM

MLB.com
Updating a previous item, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that Alex Cora intends to play in MLB this season.
Reports from Puerto Rico indicated that Cora was ready to call it a career, but it turns out that he was merely announcing his retirement from winter ball play. The 36-year-old batted infielder just .224/.287/.276 over 172 plate appearances with the Nationals last season, so we wouldn't be surprised if a lack of interest ultimately pushes him into the coaching profession.

Jon Jay
D.L.
Cardinals placed OF Jon Jay on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder sprain.
Jay initially injured the shoulder in late April, but he has experienced continued discomfort over the past week. The Cardinals are hopeful his condition will improve with an extended period of rest. Skip Schumaker, who is in the starting lineup Tuesday, figures to share playing time with Shane Robinson in center field for now.

Carlos Beltran
Sidelined
Carlos Beltran (knee) is out of the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday for a third straight game.
Beltran told reporters at the beginning of this week that his surgically-repaired right knee was "barking." And that's apparently still the case. The 35-year-old is batting .295/.407/.648 with 13 home runs and 32 RBI.

Chris Carpenter
D.L.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak told FOX Sports Midwest on Saturday that Chris Carpenter (neck, shoulder) could start a throwing program in mid-June.
Carpenter has been progressing well through a series of strengthening exercises and should be ready to take the next step in about a month. He'll still need 4-6 weeks from the time he first begins throwing, so it's looking like a late-July return is the best case scenario. The good news is Lance Lynn has excelled as a fill-in.

Scott Linebrink
D.L.
Scott Linebrink (shoulder) resumed playing catch Tuesday.
Linebrink had been shut down after experiencing more inflammation in his right shoulder. He'll play catch and long-toss for several days before hopefully returning to the mound. He's had a few setbacks, so it's no guarantee that he'll be back anytime soon.
