Todd Wellemeyer's return to the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation might have to wait indefinitely after the right-hander complained of a sore elbow following a bullpen session. Manager Tony La Russa said Wellemeyer, 7-9 with a 5.67 ERA for the NL Central leaders, could be headed for the 15-day disabled list.

Andrews to examine RHP Zimmermann's MRI (AP)
The Washington Nationals have asked renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews to look at the MRI of right-hander Jordan Zimmermann's sore elbow. Zimmerman, who's been on the disabled list with the injury since July 19, had the exam Friday and the Nationals didn't like what they saw. They sent the results to Andrews on Saturday.
