St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader is on the IL for the second time this season, but appears close to returning.
The St. Louis Cardinals are tinkering with their rotation and starting lineups in hopes of jump starting their team that now is 6.5 games back in the National League Central. But run prevention has become increasingly important among teams and it just so happens that the Cardinals’ best defender is getting closer to returning.
