ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have
placed outfielder Jordan Walker on the 10-day injured list
retroactive to Monday with appendicitis, the team announced
Wednesday.
The team also recalled infielder José Fermín from Triple-A
Memphis.
Walker was first examined by the team’s medical staff after
feeling discomfort before batting practice on Tuesday, Cardinals
manager Oliver Marmol said.
“They wanted to rule out appendix,” Marmol said. “They sent him
to go get some imaging and it came back as early signs of it."
Walker did not have and does not need surgery but is being
treated with antibiotics. He is expected to be able to resume
baseball activities in four to five days.
The 23-year-old Walker is hitting .210 with three home runs and
23 RBIs in 55 games in his third major league season.
Fermín has played parts of the last two seasons for the
Cardinals and is hitting .308 with five home runs and 34 RBIs
with Memphis this season.
