Chris Carpenter suffered another setback in his recovery from year-long shoulder problems and now Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that the former Cy Young winner and the Cardinals have ?discussed a second shutdown and possible season-ending surgery.?
That?s a change from last week, when Carpenter opted against surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. However, according to Strauss the Cardinals canceled his bullpen session yesterday and there?s no longer a timetable for his return to the mound.
Strauss also notes that manager Mike Matheny and general manager John Mozeliak have remained vague about details surrounding Carpenter?s status, continuing a season-long trend for the Cardinals. At this point it sounds all but guaranteed that Carpenter will need the surgery and six-month recovery, but the question is whether it can wait until after the season. And unfortunately it?s looking more and more like the answer is no.
Carpenter signed a two-year, $21 million contract extension last September, but was shut down in spring training and hasn?t started a big-league game since beating the Rangers in Game 7 of the World Series.
