Steven Matz - Receives cortisone shotMatz (shoulder) received a cortisone shot in his left shoulder Friday and played catch Saturday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
ImpactHow Matz responds to this latest round of treatment and the resumption of activity will likely determine how much longer he's sidelined. He's not eligible to return from the 15-day injured list until June 7. It's unclear if he'll need to make a rehab start prior to rejoining the Cardinals' rotation.

Yadier Molina - Gets breather SundayMolina is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
ImpactMolina will rest for the day game after he went 1-for-4 while starting at catcher in Saturday's 8-3 win. Andrew Knizner checks in for Molina behind the plate.

Willy Adames - Starts up rehab assignmentAdames (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Carolina on Sunday.
ImpactAdames hasn't played since May 15 due to a left ankle sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return from the 10-day injured list now that he's been cleared to suit up for the Brewers' Low-A affiliate. The team hasn't indicated whether Adames will require additional rehab games to begin the upcoming week, but the Brewers will presumably see how his ankle feels coming out of Sunday's action before determining his next steps. Assuming Adames is cleared to come off the IL within the next few days, he would take back everyday duties at shortstop, with Luis Urias sliding back over to third base and Jace Peterson moving into a bench role as a result.
