Cardinals call up Juan Yepez and James Naile, put Tyler O'Neill and Jake Woodford on injured list

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed two players on the injured list and are calling up two from Class AAA Memphis.

Outfielder Tyler O'Neill and right-handed pitcher Jake Woodford are on the 15-day IL. O'Neill has a lower back strain and Woodford is on the list for right shoulder inflammation.

Outfielder Juan Yepez and right-handed pitcher James Naile will replace them on the major league roster.

To make room for Naile on the 40-man roster, pitcher Wilking Rodriguez was moved to the 60-day IL. Rodriguez underwent season-ending arthroscopic shoulder surgery earlier in the week.

This is the second time Yepez has been recalled this season; he previously replaced an injured Lars Nootbaar.
