Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright (Achilles) will throw another simulated game this weekend after completing a 25-pitch session on Wednesday. If all goes well he could be used in relief some time next week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
It's possible Wainwright, who has been out since making four starts in April, could get one in the postseason, but at this point it seems highly unlikely. Considering the Cardinals pitching depth it would be somewhat surprising to even see him on the postseason roster, at least in the divisional series.
