Latest News
| Matt Adams returns to the starting lineup |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/11/13) Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams was back in the starting lineup Saturday against the Rockies, the first time he has been there since returning from the disabled list Tuesday.
Adams went 1 for 4 with an RBI single in the fifth inning. His batting average fell to .467 in a 3-0 win.
Before the game, manager Mike Matheny spoke to MLB.com about how difficult it is to find Adams playing time coming off an injury in a crowded lineup.
"It's not that easy, but he can hit," Matheny said. "He was in a nice spot when he got hurt. He was swinging the bat well. It's a challenge for him, but I want to get him back in there as much as I can."

| Matt Adams starts rehab assignment |
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com

Adams, who strained his oblique back on April 22 during batting practice, is expected to join the team in Chicago Tuesday, the first day he is eligible to come off the disabled list.

| Matt Adams stuck in roster squeeze |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/3/13) There is no denying that Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams was hitting the ball well before his injury, as a .542 batting average and three home runs in just 24 at-bats more than speaks for itself. He is set to return from his oblique injury in Week 6 (May 6-12), and may represent a tantalizing starting option for some owners.
Unfortunately, his 24 at-bats came sprinkled throughout the course of 18 days, and there is little indication that more playing time is going to become available upon his return. As our Scott White notes in his Hit Parade column, Adams does not make much sense as a starting option right now. Given the makeup of the Cardinals' roster, Adams is likely to get lost in the shuffle, no matter how big a stick he might swing.

| When Lance Berkman went down with a torn meniscus in late May, Matt Adams was up in the majors and playing two of every three games at first base. He didn't live up to his crazy minor-league numbers, but for an up-and-comer taking his first crack at major-league pitching, he didn't embarrass himself either. Unfortunately, when Berkman went back on the DL with inflammation in the same knee in early August, Adams didn't get a chance for an encore. He was having surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. He wouldn't have gotten the chance to start anyway. By then, Allen Craig had firmly established himself at first base, with Matt Carpenter the first line of defense off the bench. So where does that leave Adams in 2013? In the minors, probably. Though he has benefited from some favorable hitting environments that might make him seem like more of a prospect than he is, he has hit for average and power every step up the ladder. Maybe, like Craig, he'll someday have his chance to prove those numbers are legitimate, but seeing as his path to a starting job is blocked twice over, he's just an NL-only option on Draft Day.
