Wacha (shoulder) could potentially miss the rest of the 2016 season with right shoulder inflammation, which is a related injury to his shoulder from two years ago, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
Wacha was placed on the disabled list Tuesday after allowing four runs on six hits and four walks over five innings against the Reds on Monday. As of now, the Cardinals are unsure about his status for the rest of the season. With a decrease in velocity and his struggles in the last few starts, he could wind up getting shut down for the rest of the season if it appears that the shoulder will not be able to handle a comeback before the end of this year.
