ST. LOUIS - The first of several anticipated roster moves took place this afternoon as the St. Louis Cardinals activated Jhonny Peralta from the disabled list. Rookie outfielder Magnerius Sierra was optioned to Springfield (AA) to make room on the 25-man roster. “I’m feeling good,” said Peralta. “Last couple of weeks, tried to recover and right now I feel really good.” The infielder was placed on the disabled list April 17th as negative reactions to medicine for an upper respiratory issue affected his play. Peralta had a rehab assignments at both Palm Beach (A) and Memphis (AAA) where after a 2-8 start, he hit .364 (4-11) in three games with the Redbirds. “I started feeling better after I stopped Continue to Article

A young Cardinals' fan shows off his Mexican pride at "Fiesta Cardenales." St. Louis has the smallest Latino population of any big city in the country — in fact, of the nation's 25 largest metro areas, we're the only one that's less than five percent Latino. If you read Doyle Murphy's cover story last October, you got the complicated explanation, which basically comes down to immigration patterns. Anna Crosslin, president and CEO of the International Institute, says Hispanic immigration routes or "flow patterns" traditionally split off south of St. Louis in Missouri's bootheel, with one path running into Illinois toward the Metro East or Chicago.

SAN FRANCISCO -- As expected, the Giants placed Hunter Pence on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a strained left hamstring. Mac Williamson was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to take Pence's roster spot. Pence was first out of the lineup on Friday, although he pinch-hit late in a 17-inning win. He didn't play over the weekend, so the Giants can back-date the DL stint to Saturday, May 13. It's unclear how long Pence is expected to be out, although it should be a short stint, since he was available to pinch-hit Sunday. He will be eligible to return during the Giants' four-game series against the Cubs next week in Chicago. "It looks like it'll be a few days," manager Bruce Bochy said before Continue to Article
