Not looking good for the St. Louis ace…
JUPITER, Fla. (AP)—Adam Wainwright(notes), a 20-game winner for the Cardinals a year ago and the runner-up for the Cy Young award, was being sent back to St. Louis on Wednesday for tests on his injured right elbow amid concern that he could be lost for the season.
General manager John Mozeliak said “things do not look encouraging” for the right-hander, who injured his elbow during Monday’s bullpen session.
Mozeliak stopped short of saying Wainwright would need Tommy John surgery.
“I don’t want to speculate, but obviously ligament damage, that’s usually what it results in,” he said.

Confirmed…Wainwright having surgery…done for year:
JUPITER, Fla. (AP)—St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright(notes) will have Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and miss the entire season.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak confirmed the news Thursday from spring training camp. He said he learned the severity of the injury Wednesday night after the 29-year-old pitcher sought a second opinion from Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles. A surgery date is not set.
“It’s not a real surprise to us but certainly a disappointment,” Mozeliak said. “As we look to the future now we certainly believe we still have a strong starting rotation. Now we’re going to have to look to try to fill it in terms of a fifth spot.”
