Struggling St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Brett Cecil continues to face problems, as the carpal tunnel problems that kept him out of action required surgery earlier this week and will keep him out indefinitely.
Cecil was originally placed on the injured list at the beginning of the season because of a lack of feeling in his fingers as well as arm fatigue. Before he was placed on the IL, Cecil was tinkering with his mechanics throughout Spring Training. He was transferred from the 10-day to the 60-day IL on March 28 after not showing signs of progress.
