With reliever Jordan Walden out until at least late June, the Cardinals are looking for someone to handle the eighth-inning setup role.
Kevin Siegrist got the opportunity on Friday, pitching a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.
“It’s a role I would like to have,” he said, per StLToday.com.
He'll get a shot at winning the role, as will Seth Maness and Matt Belisle.
"I think it’s going to be a combination of matchups, I think it’s going to be availability, and it is going to be playing the hot hand,” Matheny said. “It’s going to be a combination of all of those until we have somebody who just puts himself as this is my job. We’ll give a few guys that opportunity."
