Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright is still scheduled to pitch Tuesday against the Astros and next Sunday against the Cubs, despite being named to the All-Star team. Although, the Cardinals are weighing their options with Wainwright, who is allowed to throw a maximum of one inning in the All-Star game due to a rule change implemented in the Collective Bargaining Agreement for pitchers who start Sunday before the All-Star break.
"I enjoy the All-Star Game for these guys; I think it's a huge reward. But I also understand that it can be taxing on them, too," manager Mike Matheny said, per MLB.com. "We have to weigh all things as we get closer."
