Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Set for start Thursday
Dobbins (knee) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday in Pittsburgh, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
The right-hander will be making his Cardinals debut Thursday after opening the season on the shelf while continuing to recover from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered last July. Dobbins has made five starts with Triple-A Memphis during his minor-league rehab assignment, producing a 4.37 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 19 punchouts over 22.2 innings. The Cardinals are expected to temporarily transition to a six-man rotation to make room for Dobbins, who will likely need to perform well in his initial opportunities with the big club to ensure he sticks around in a starting role when St. Louis eventually scales back its rotation to five members.
