ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals recalled right-hander Maikel Cleto from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday before their game against Arizona. Cleto was 2-2 with a 5.67 ERA in 13 games with Memphis, six as a starter. Right-hander Victor Marte was sent to Memphis. Marte, the losing pitcher Tuesday night a 7-6, 14-inning loss to Arizona, was 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in four appearances.

The Cardinals also announced that catcher Yadier Molina has dropped his appeal of a one-game suspension for bumping umpire Mike Everitt on Sunday.
