Wacha has been placed on the 15-day DL with right shoulder inflammation.
After a disappointing start Monday against the Reds, Wacha heads to the DL for at least the next 15 days, while the move is less surprising when you consider that Wacha's average fastball velocity dipped to a season-low 92.66 mph (according to Brooks Baseball ) in Monday's start. Alex Reyes has been called up from Triple-A Memphis to presumably replace Wacha in the St. Louis rotation.
