What extra player? A reliever they are reluctant to use in case they need a long reliever? That extra player. The same one they've had since, oh, 2013? I don't see that as an extra player. Yes, the Cardinals are exploiting the 10-day DL. Absolutely. They are giving Wainwright a chance to miss one start, cool down the bone precursor in his right elbow, work on the side, and then return to the rotation if available the moment the 10-day is up. If they still had a 15-day DL -- then this decision would be a little trickier to make. Wainwright was pretty emphatic that he's doing this now to avoid making it worse later, that he was giving up one start now so that he could still make 30 this season.

Is wainwright really ailing or are the cardinals using the off days and 10day DL to their advantage to get an "extra" player on the roster?
