Martinez gets injection, likely not in Cards’ 1st rotation

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez had an injection to stimulate healing in his weak pitching shoulder, and likely will not be in the starting rotation at the beginning of the season.
St. Louis said Tuesday that Martinez won’t throw for two weeks after he received a platelet rich plasma injection on Monday at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze.
“We’ll evaluate his role at that point,” Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said.
