Impact There's still a lot that has to go right for the Cardinals to be cleared to resume their season Saturday, but if they are indeed given the green light to play, the Redbirds will hand the ball to their veteran right-hander. St. Louis will go with a bullpen game for the second half of the doubleheader before handing the ball to Dakota Hudson on Sunday.

Grabs win with quality start Wainwright (1-0) earned the win Saturday versus the Pirates after allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings.
Impact The veteran right-hander finished with 83 pitches and typically would continue into the seventh frame, but it's no surprise manager Mike Shildt remained cautious in his first start after a short summer camp. Wainwright's second outing of the season is scheduled for next Saturday at Milwaukee.

Dazzles in intrasquad start Kim fired five scoreless, one-hit innings in Thursday's intrasquad game while recording five strikeouts, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact As the aforementioned line implies, the left-hander was thoroughly dominant over the course of 69 pitches. Kim threw 10 first-pitch strikes along the way and also recorded 10 swings and misses, flashing all four of his pitches. The performance elicited accolades from multiple teammates, with outfielder Austin Dean noting Kim's deceptive delivery and the movement on his fastball and breaking stuff, and fellow pitcher Adam Wainwright lauding Kim's ability to change speeds effortlessly. The 31-year-old continues to battle Carlos Martinez for the No. 5 starter's job, although Kim's quest for a rotation role could be helped by Martinez potentially being shifted to the position of primary closer.

Starting second game for St. Louis Manager Mike Shildt said Thursday that Wainwright will start the second game of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Wainwright will get the ball Saturday, July 25 when the Cardinals host the Pirates at Busch Stadium. The 38-year-old will pitch in four days to make sure he is lined up and ready to go. Wainwright is coming off his 14th season in St. Louis, in which he posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 153:64 K:BB across 171.2 innings.

Gets in plenty of work Sunday Wainwright threw four innings of live batting practice during Sunday's summer camp workout, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact The heavy workload marked Wainwright's third time pitching four innings this calendar year, factoring in work he did on his own during the shutdown. The 60-game season will naturally result in much less wear and tear on the veteran right-hander's arm than he would have experienced in a full campaign, so there remains a possibility Wainwright returns for 2021 after initially looking likely to retire following 2020.

Throws live BP on Sunday Kim was one of the pitchers to throw live batting practice during Sunday's summer camp session, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Kim has been engaging in regular throwing sessions with Adam Wainwright during the shutdown, so he's been able to keep his arm in good condition overall. The 31-year-old's season-opening role is yet to be determined, as recent indications the team may go with a five-man rotation would potentially leave Kim out of the starting equation. The former KBO star would likely see a solid amount of long-relief work if he indeed begins the 2020 campaign in the bullpen.
