Matt Adams placed on DL, Jermaine Curtis called up

Even if it's for 2 weeks Curtis can now said he played in major league games. Not sure if we'll see Curtis on the big club again(maybe in September) but it's still quite an accomplishment.

I've seen Curtis quite a bit, and though I don't think he is a long-term Cardinal, he does give you a good at bat. He doesn't throw them away...a grinder.

So will Adams still be playing with Springfield today or will he get called up on the day off?

im assuming hes not playing tonight. goold article from 4 days ago says this:

Rookie slugger Matt Adams will join Class AA Springfield today and be in the S-Cards’ lineup Friday at Northwest Arkansas to start a rehab assignment he expects to last through the weekend.

He is scheduled to join the Cardinals in Chicago on Tuesday, the day he’s eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list.

Cardinals optioned INF Jermaine Curtis to Triple-A Memphis.
Curtis drew only two at-bats in his nine-day MLB stay. He was sent out Monday to clear a spot for Matt Adams, who will come off the disabled list before Tuesday's series-opener against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Who will be moved from the Cardinals' active player roster to make room for Matt Adams when he returns?
-- Brian D., Duluth, Minn.

The answer is Jermaine Curtis -- and actually, he's already left the club. Curtis started at third base for Triple-A Memphis on Monday, an indication that Adams should be activated off the disabled list by the time the Cardinals play on Tuesday. The Cards were clear that Curtis' stay with the big league club would be a short one. He ended up having three plate appearances.

Curtis might get a call up in September if he keeps his numbers up. I don't expect him to be with the team long term but it might not be the last we see him.
