On the same day the Cardinals brought back reliever Dominic Leone and placed rookie Mike Mayers on the 10-day disabled list, Wong felt a mix of “relief” and “excitement,” he said, about how his right hamstring felt less than a day after straining it. Wong will have a battery of tests Monday in St. Louis with the team’s medical staff to determine the severity of his injury and whether an MRI is necessary to show the degree of tearing. He expressed optimism about being able to avoid the disabled list.
Wong felt a sharp pain in his right hamstring while running on a groundout in the second inning Saturday.
