Ticketed for IL Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Flaherty is dealing with a strained right shoulder and will be placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-D...

Impact After missing two and a half months with an oblique strain, Flaherty returned from the IL on Aug. 13 and lasted three starts before going down with another injury. Fortunately for Flaherty, the tests he underwent after exiting Tuesday's loss to the Tigers revealed no structural damage to his shoulder, but the right-hander still looks like far from a safe bet to make it back from the IL in the minimum 10 days. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Flaherty had been nursing soreness in the shoulder heading into Tuesday's start and felt fine heading into the contest, only for the shoulder to stiffen up on him between the first and second inning. The Cardinals will likely keep him on a no-throw program for several days before re-evaluating him.

Pulled with shoulder tightness Flaherty was removed from Tuesday's start against the Tigers with right shoulder tightness, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Flaherty had decreased velocity during the third inning and was pulled from the contest after surrendering back-to-back homers to open the frame. It's only the right-hander's third start since missing two-plus months with an oblique strain, and his availability for the final month of the season is now in question after exiting with a new injury. He allowed four runs on four hits with three walks and a strikeout across two innings and is in line for the loss Tuesday.

Impressive in no-decision Flaherty didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing two earned runs on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

Impact The right-hander turned in his second straight encouraging performance coming off his extended injured-list stint, with solo home runs by Avisail Garcia and Willy Adames accounting for the only two runs against him. Flaherty fired 56 of 92 pitches for strikes in the outing and has a 1.50 ERA and 0.58 WHIP across the 12 innings covering his last two turns. He'll look to keep up the strong work in a likely matchup against the Tigers on Tuesday.

Fires six shutout frames Flaherty (9-1) allowed two hits over six shutout innings Friday, striking out five and earning a win over Kansas City.

Impact Making his first appearance since May 31 after a lengthy stint on the injured list with an oblique issue, Flaherty didn't miss a beat. He gave up just two singles through six scoreless innings and never let a Royal reach scoring position. The 25-year-old righty now owns a 2.65 ERA and a 72:20 K:BB through 68 innings this season. Flaherty is projected to face the Brewers at home next week.

Reinstated for Friday's start Flaherty (oblique) was activated from the 60-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Royals.

Impact Flaherty has been sidelined since late May by an oblique strain, and he'll officially rejoin the Cardinals' starting rotation Friday in Kansas City. The 25-year-old built up to 75 pitches during his rehab assignment, so he shouldn't face significant limitations in his return to a major-league mound. Wade LeBlanc (elbow) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.
