Tue Sep 26 202318:33Adam Wainwright Done For The Season
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.

Tue Sep 19 202300:29Adam Wainwright Wins 200th Career Game Monday
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.

Sat Sep 2 202318:51Adam Wainwright Has Start Pushed Back
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. The Cardinals will give the veteran pitcher some more rest, so Zack Thompson will start on Sunday. Thompson was decent during his last start, but isn't a reliable streaming option. Fantasy managers desperate for pitching help could look at Thompson as a possible option against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Thu Aug 17 202314:55Adam Wainwright Looking To Shake Off Back-To-Back Disasters Thursday
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.

Sun Jul 23 202313:33Adam Wainwright Scheduled To Start On Monday Against D-Backs
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.

Sat Jul 15 202313:23Adam Wainwright Set To Resume Throwing Program On 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).

Fri Jul 7 202317:42Adam Wainwright Receives Injection In Shoulder
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.

Tue Jul 4 202317:19Adam Wainwright Heads To Injured List
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.

Thu Jun 29 202314:47Adam Wainwright In Search Of Bounce-Back Start Thursday
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.

Sun Jun 11 202310:07Adam Wainwright Seeks To Jump-Start Season Versus Reds
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.

Sun May 21 202313:38Adam Wainwright Has Start Moved Up To Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright is having his start bumped up to Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Wainwright was originally slated to start on Wednesday but the Cards have moved him up. Beat writer Jeff Jones also noted that Matthew Liberatore is available out of the bullpen on both Sunday and Monday. Whether he pitches either of those days will impact when he takes his next turn in the rotation.

Thu May 18 202314:42Adam Wainwright Looking To Right The Ship Thursday
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright will look to get back on track Thursday as he takes on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The 41-year-old missed significant time to begin the season due to a groin issue and hasn't exactly dominated upon his return. The right-hander has allowed four earned runs across five innings in each of his two starts this season, adding up to a 7.20 ERA with two homers surrendered in 10 innings for the season. The good news is Wainwright is pitching where he's at his best as he owns a career 2.88 ERA at home versus a 4.00 ERA anywhere not named Busch Stadium. However, he'll certainly have his hands full against a Dodgers offense that ranks third with a .343 wOBA versus right-handed pitching this season.

Sat May 6 202313:12Adam Wainwright Activated From The Injured List
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start in his season debut on Saturday versus the Detroit Tigers. The veteran hurler missed the first five weeks of the regular season with a groin injury but he's ready to go this weekend. It's fair to wonder how much gas the 41-year-old has left in the tank but he's worth a stream on Saturday given his pedigree and his opponent. Fantasy managers can also wait and see how he looks before scooping him off waivers.

Mon May 1 202300:47Adam Wainwright Strikes Out Nine In Rehab Outing
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (groin) allowed four earned runs over 5 IP in his rehab outing on Sunday, finishing with 89 pitches thrown. Although he allowed four runs, he managed to strike out nine and walk only one batter. He could be activated as early as Friday against Detroit if the Cardinals decide he is ready to go. At this point in his career, Wainwright is more of a deep league play or streamer than a must-roster pitcher. He should still manage to keep his ERA down and have a decent WHIP, but he won't offer many strikeouts.

Thu Apr 27 202321:27Adam Wainwright To Pitch In Rehab Game Sunday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (groin) is scheduled to pitch in his third rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A Memphis. According to Katie Woo, the club is targeting 90 pitches, and if all goes well, it should allow him to join the Cards in early May. The 41-year-old veteran has yet to pitch in Major League action in 2023 due to a groin strain but posted a 3.71 ERA, 17.8% strikeout rate, and 1.28 WHIP last season. Wainwright isn't the pitcher he once was, but he can still provide fantasy managers with decent ratios and a solid win total with the Cardinals offense behind him.

Thu Apr 13 202321:35Adam Wainwright To Throw To Live Hitters Friday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (groin) is set to throw to live hitters on Friday, getting one step closer to making a return, according to Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The veteran has been on the shelf since the season started after straining his groin in the weight room. Wainwright will still need to complete a rehab assignment but is on track to join the club this month. Even at 41 years old, he still knows how to pitch and produced a 3.71 ERA with 143 strikeouts, 1.28 WHIP, and 11 victories over 191 2/3 innings a year ago. Fantasy managers can't expect high punchout numbers, but the abilities are still there for Wainwright to post above-average ratios while providing solid wins and volume.

Sun Apr 9 202313:29Adam Wainwright Threw A Bullpen Session On Saturday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainright (groin) threw a 33-pitch bullpen session on Saturday, according to reporters. Manager Oli Marmol said the 41-year-old hurler will throw another session on Tuesday and that the team will decide his next step after that. The Cardinals clearly want to see how Wainwright handles the workload but his next step will be a rehab assignment, facing live hitters, or another bullpen session. The team will provide another update following Tuesday's bullpen so fantasy managers should look for more information then.

Fri Apr 7 202318:15Adam Wainwright To Throw Again On Sunday

Manager Oliver Marmol said that Wainwright is scheduled to throw another session on Sunday. If all goes well, Wainwright is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment. The expectation is that Wainwright will need at least two rehab starts before rejoining the Cardinals. Possibly, the right-hander is back before the end of April.

Wed Apr 5 202318:35Adam Wainwright To Throw On Thursday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. The 41-year-old was able to throw a bullpen session without any issues on Monday. The hope is that Wainwright will be able to face live hitters as early as next week. Although, the team doesn't want to rush Wainwright back after he suffered a groin injury during the World Baseball Classic. The expectation is that Wainwright should rejoin the rotation in early May, barring any setbacks.

Wed Mar 29 202318:04Adam Wainwright Resumes Throwing Program
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (groin) has played catch up to 120 feet, and the team is still finalizing a plan for when he gets back to full baseball activities. Wainwright suffered a groin strain while pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and will open the 2023 regular season on the injured list. He's expected to miss the first month of the season, so look for the 41-year-old right-hander to make his season debut sometime in May. With declining skills and strikeout rates, Waino is really hard to get excited about in fantasy these days in what is expected to be the final season of his storied career.
