Shut down two more weeks

Elbow
July 29, 2024
Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Monday that Hjerpe will remain shut down for two more weeks while dealing with a left elbow injury, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
ANALYSIS
Hjerpe hasn't pitched for Double-A Springfield since July 2, and with two more weeks of down time, he likely won't be ready for game action before September. He had surgery last August to remove a loose body from his elbow, but the exact nature of his injury isn't clear this time around. Hjerpe has posted a 3.27 ERA and 76:28 K:BB over 52.1 innings between the High- and Double-A levels in 2024.
