St. Louis, Mo., May 23, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’ series finale with the Cubs, that they have placed right-handed pitcher Miles Mikolas (right forearm tightness) on the 10-day Injured List and recalled right-handed reliever Junior Fernandez from Memphis (AAA).

Mikolas, who was removed from last night’s game after 4.0 innings of work, was making his first appearance in the majors since the 2019 N.L. Championship Series.   Mikolas, 32, missed all of the abbreviated 2020 season and the beginning of the 2021 campaign while recovering from surgery to repair his right flexor tendon.

Fernandez has appeared in one game for the Cardinals this season and in 17 since his debut season in 2019.  The 24-year-old native of the Dominican Republic has worked in five games for Memphis this season, striking out 10 in his 5.1 IP with one save and 3.38 ERA.

Fernandez wears uniform no. 44.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 19, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals organization announced that it plans to expand to full capacity at Busch Stadium for the remainder of 2021 season beginning on Monday, June 14 when the Cardinals host the Miami Marlins.  In addition, the team’s season ticket holders will be able to access their normal seats for the remainder of the season beginning on that same date.

“We are thrilled to soon be fully opening Busch Stadium to our great fans,” stated Cardinals Team President Bill DeWitt III.  “We have missed the energy and excitement of a full Busch Stadium, and look forward to welcoming everyone back downtown where they can enjoy the many amenities at Ballpark Village while also cheering on our first place Cardinals.”

Individual game tickets for the full capacity Busch Stadium games will go on sale on Thursday, May 27 at 12 noon CDT at cardinals.com or via phone at 314-345-9000.  The team plans to offer $6 tickets for many games this summer, helping to make an outing at Busch Stadium more affordable for families.

The team most recently has been using seating pods spaced a minimum of three feet apart in all directions, starting with last night’s game vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates.  That seating plan will continue for the team’s May 21-23 series vs. the Chicago Cubs, June 3-6 series vs. Cincinnati and June 8-9 games vs. Cleveland.

The team announced on May 14 that fully vaccinated fans attending games at Busch Stadium are no longer required to wear masks inside the ballpark.  Fans that are not yet fully vaccinated are strongly encouraged to wear masks at all times inside the stadium, including the seating bowl, unless actively eating or drinking.

The following policies and protocols will remain in place to ensure the health and safety of fans and employees in 2021, including:

·       Mobile-only ticketing: All game tickets will be delivered via the MLB Ballpark app, ensuring a touchless entry into the ballpark.

·       Cashless transactions: Concession stands, kiosks and other retail transactions made in the stadium are cashless and only offer credit and debit payment options. Debit cards are available for purchase using cash with no service fees at a limited number of locations inside the stadium.

·       Bags not permitted: To reduce contamination and ensure touchless entry, bags are not permitted to be brought in to Busch Stadium, except for medical bags, diaper bags with a child or clutches/wristlets not exceeding 6″ x 8″.  All exceptions must enter via the designated Inspection Lane at each gate.

Gates at Busch Stadium are now open two hours before first pitch for Friday-Sunday games and 1-1/2 hours before first pitch for Monday-Thursday contests.

Fans can view the full list of Busch Stadium policies and protocols for the 2021 season at cardinals.com/backatbusch.

The Cardinals organization is still hiring ushers and event staff at Busch Stadium.  Interested candidates should visit cardinals.com/jobs to apply or learn more information.

With Jim Field.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Iowa State (32-22, 6-12 Big 12) fell 8-0 to UNI (32-18, 20-7 MVC) in the first game of the NCAA Columbia Regional on Friday night at Mizzou Softball Stadium.

UNI 8, Iowa State 0
The Panthers were able to strike first with a big second inning, plating four runs in the frame. Taylor Hogan notched a lead-off single, followed by a walk for Sammy Moss. Brooke Snider then gave the Panthers the lead with a two-RBI double down the left field line. An Emmy Wells RBI base hit pushed two more UNI runs across later in the inning to extend the lead to 4-0.

UNI busted the game open further in the top of the third. Madison Parks extended the lead to 5-0 with a two-out RBI single to left, followed by a three-run home run by Sammey Bunch.

Those would be the final UNI runs of the day, but it was what the Panthers needed thanks to an excellent performance in the circle by Kailyn Packard. The sophomore allowed just one hit in 5.0 innings of work.

On Deck
Iowa State will face either UIC or Missouri on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Mizzou Softball Stadium in an elimination game. Should the Cyclones win, they will play another elimination game at 6 p.m. CT.
