With the St. Louis Cardinals falling in the playoff race and Jack Flaherty on the IL, they should shut down the right-hander for the season.

With Jack Flaherty’s latest injury, a right shoulder strain that placed him on the 10-day injured list, the St. Louis Cardinals could be without their star right-hander for the remainder of the regular season.

Such a determination hasn’t been made and will be weighed with where the Cardinals are in the playoff standings.
