The St. Louis Cardinals activated SP Joe Kelly (hamstring) from the disabled list Friday, July 11, and optioned SP Tyler Lyons to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Also, SP Jaime Garcia (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day DL.

Fantasy Tip: Kelly will make the start tonight against the reeling Milwaukee Brewers. Kelly has a chance to stick in the rotation for a while after the injuries to Michael Wacha and Jaime Garcia. He's worth a look in deep mixed leagues.

St. Louis Cardinals SP Jaime Garcia (shoulder) will have surgery Friday, July 11, to address a thoracic outlet symptom.

Fantasy Tip: At this stage, Garcia's shoulder issues have become chronic, and this surgery should end his season. Unless things change, Joe Kelly will be the beneficiary within the rotation going forward. However, it is no secret the Cardinals are searching for options through the trade market to replace Garcia, and potentially fill in for the injured Michael Wacha.

St. Louis Cardinals SP Jaime Garcia (shoulder) will have surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome and miss the rest of the season.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia can be dropped in all leagues. Don't forget his name on draft day next season as he could be a nice bargain at the end of your drafts if he is healthy.

St. Louis Cardinals SP Jaime Garcia struck out seven and gave up two runs in 5 2/3 innings in his win over the Cincinnati Reds Saturday, May 24.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia was unhittable through the first four innings but ran into trouble in the fifth inning, which has always seemed to be his M.O. He looked strong and should be considered for a pickup in mixed leagues.
