As the old cliché goes, “injuries are just part of the game”. But they have been an even bigger part of the game for the older players on the St. Louis Cardinals’ roster, especially during Spring Training 2020.
Of the nine players who will see their 32nd birthday sometime this season, i.e. Miles Mikolas, Paul Goldschmidt, Matt Carpenter, Dexter Fowler, Matt Wieters, Yadier Molina, Andrew Miller, and Brett Cecil, fully five of them have become injured in just the last month.
