Shane Robinson had shoulder surgery Thursday. Done for season. #stlcards #cardinals

Well, Robinson's sudden surgery does give #Cardinals option of putting him on 60-day DL. He and Butler create two spots on 40 for Sept.

Motte has thrown off the mound a few times this week & says he feels good. Next step unclear, he says. #STLCards

Sugar Shane had shoulder surgery, done for the year.
