After four days of various exams in St. Louis, Carpenter was told that nerve irritation led to the weakness he was feeling in the shoulder earlier this week. That is separate from the bulging cervical disc issue that the club said was behind stiffness in the shoulder earlier in the month.
It is not, though, entirely unrelated to previous nerve issues that have cost Carpenter significant time in the past. General manager John Mozeliak characterized this nerve irritation as similar to that which forced Carpenter's season to end prematurely in 2004 and then, along with a separate recovery from elbow surgery, cost him almost all of the '08 campaign.
Wow! 37 and out, Oh Well Wainwright is back!

JUPITER, Fla. -- Chris Carpenter got a clearer diagnosis on the source of the weakness in his right shoulder, but that diagnosis did little to clear up the question of a timetable for his return. As a result the Cardinals will prepare to open the season with Carpenter sidelined indefinitely.After four days of various exams in St. Louis, Carpenter was told that nerve irritation led to the weakness he was feeling in the shoulder earlier this week.
