CHICAGO — With two games and a total of at least 14 innings more to cover on their five-day visit to Chicago, the Cardinals have called for a reinforcement from their alternate-site camp in Springfield, Mo.
If he gets in a game, he'll be the eighth pitcher to make his major-league debut on this one road trip.
And he'll be doing it about the time the Cardinals expected all along.
Johan Oviedo, one of the revelations of spring training, is on his way to join the Cardinals in Chicago, and he's expected to be added to the roster at some point Wednesday as the team plays a doubleheader at Wrigley Field, the Post-Dispatch has confirmed.
