St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright will not take the mound again this season, according to manager Oli Marmol. That means, the 42-year-old will his career on a high note. He recorded his 200th career win after throwing seven scoreless frames versus the Milwaukee Brewers during his last start. He'll finish the season with a 7.40 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and a 55/41 K/BB ratio across 101 innings in his 21 starts. It's not the ideal season to have to end your career, but at least his last game on the mound was a success.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright hit a historical milestone in Monday's 1-0 win over the Brewers, earning his 200th career win. The 42-year-old turned back the clock, pitching seven innings while allowing four hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Wainwright's season has not reflected his stellar career and he will retire at the end of this season, so this achievement has been a true highlight. He is now the fifth active MLB pitcher in the 200-win club. Wainwright has spent all 18 seasons with the Cardinals and spent the majority of his career as a dominant fantasy starter.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright will have his next start on Sunday pushed back until Thursday. The 42-year-old pitched well during his last outing, but indicated afterwards he wasn't feeling good on the mound.

Fantasy managers desperate for pitching help could look at Thompson as a possible option against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright will be in search of much-improved results on Thursday night when he takes the ball at home against the New York Mets. The 41-year-old was absolutely tattooed over his last two starts, allowing 15 earned runs on 18 hits across just four innings pitched in that time. The back-to-back disasters elevated his ERA to an unsightly 8.78 mark across 15 starts on the season while Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak has said Wainwright's role will be re-evaluated following Thursday's outing. The veteran will take on a Mets offense that sits 14th with a .318 wOBA versus right-handed pitching this season.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (shoulder) is scheduled to start on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, per manager Oli Marmol. The 41-year-old veteran has been on the IL since July 5 with a right shoulder strain but he's ready to go for Monday's tilt. Wainwright had a tough go before sustaining his injury, working a 7.66 ERA and 1.99 WHIP over 51 2/3 innings (11 starts). It's nice to see him back in the Cards' rotation but he is not a recommended streaming option for Monday.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (shoulder) is set to resume his throwing program off the mound on Monday, per manager Oliver Marmol. The 41-year-old hit the injured list in early July with a shoulder strain and has received multiple injections since then. However, it sounds like he's progressing well enough to resume his throwing program on Monday. Marmol also told reporters that Wainwright will rejoin the starting rotation whenever he's activated from the injured list. Wainwright can't be much worse than what he put up earlier in the season with a 7.67 ERA, 1.99 WHIP, and 28:19 K/BB ratio over 51 2/3 innings (11 starts).

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright (shoulder) had an injection in his right shoulder after arriving home to St. Louis, and he will be shut down from throwing for a bit to let it heal. Wainwright was placed on the injured list on Thursday with right-shoulder inflammation and probably won't return to the Cardinals' starting rotation anytime soon. The 41-year-old veteran is limping to the finish line of what has been a remarkable MLB career. He hasn't been very effective at all in his 11 starts (51 2/3 innings) in 2023, going 3-4 with a 7.66 ERA (5.88 FIP), 1.99 WHIP, 19 walks and only 28 strikeouts. Wainwright doesn't deserve to be rostered in mixed leagues at this point.

The St. Louis Cardinals are placing right-hander Adam Wainwright (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with right-shoulder inflammation, according to manager Oliver Marmol. Wainwright took his fourth loss of the season in the 15-2 drubbing by the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, and he allowed seven runs (four earned) on seven hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out three in 3 1/3 innings pitched to raise his season ERA to a rough 7.66. Not much is going right for the 41-year-old veteran in 2023, and he's allowed a whopping 20 runs in his last three starts, forcing the Cardinals to give him a break. Waino doesn't deserve to be rostered in mixed fantasy leagues at this point, and he's currently rostered in only 12 percent of Yahoo leagues.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright is in search of as bounce-back start Thursday as he takes on the Houston Astros in St. Louis. The 41-year-old right-hander was torched for seven earned runs on 11 hits, including two home runs, in a losing effort against the Chicago Cubs his last time out. Wainwright has endured a tough season, working to a 6.56 ERA across nine starts while his 5.37 FIP and 5.63 SIERA both suggest he has indeed struggled. Only once in nine starts has he allowed fewer than three earned runs while he's allowed at least four earned runs in four of his nine starts this season. On a positive note, Wainwright has long been very good at home where he owns a 2.93 ERA for his career while the Astros have slipped to 18th with a .312 wOBA on the season against right-handed pitching.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright goes up against Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday for the rubber match of their weekend series. The 41-year-old got a late start to 2023 with a groin injury and has been gashed for a 5.97 ERA and 1.74 WHIP since May 6. Wainwright is yet to reach the sixth inning or yield fewer than multiple runs in any of his initial six starts. To make matters worse, the big right-hander is just 1-4 with an ugly 7.71 ERA and just 19 strikeouts over 32 2/3 innings against Cincinnati since 2021. These factors render Wainwright a highly contrarian DFS play and shy-away streaming option outside of deep leagues despite the seemingly manageable draw.
