| Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com Right-hander Fernando Salas has been placed on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, the Cardinals announced on Wednesday.

| Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com With a win on Thursday, the Cardinals would secure their second four-game sweep… in the month of May. The first, you might remember, came in Milwaukee to open the month.
