Riley O'Brien Could Land on 15-Day Injured List
St. Louis Cardinals reliever Riley O'Brien (shoulder) is dealing with fatigue in his right shoulder and could go on the 15-day injured list, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The Cardinals will know more on Monday after a doctor examines O'Brien. Since the Cardinals traded closer Ryan Helsley to the New York Mets in late July, O'Brien (two) and lefty JoJo Romero (five) are the only relievers on the team to collect multiple saves. If O'Brien has to miss time, it could lead to more opportunities for Romero and Kyle Leahy, who secured his first save on Saturday. Regardless, losing O'Brien would be a blow to the Cardinals' bullpen, as the 30-year-old has pitched to a stingy 1.69 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP, 35:17 K:BB, and six holds in 37 1/3 innings. UPDATE: After underging an MRI exam on his sore right shoulder on Monday morning, O'Brien is being shut down for now until a course of action is set.
