Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, who missed Monday's start with elbow inflammation, confirmed he'll start Saturday against the Phillies, reports St. Louis Baseball Weekly. Wainwright threw a bullpen session Wednesday and worked through all his pitches.
"This is something that we’ve got alleviated now," he said. "Had I been a little silly and went out and pitched and threw a 100-something pitches grinding through a tough game, could’ve set myself back three or four starts. We missed one to stay on top of things for the rest of the season."
