Porter’s shoulder still not at full strength
St Louis AP Injured catcher Darrell Porter appears ready to resume action with the Cardinals at least at the plate. He went three times in a six inning simulated game, delivering two hits while his right shoulder remains a torn rotator cuff issue. Manager Whitey Herzog says more healing time may be needed and Porter will likely stay on the disabled list until he can throw without pain. Six pitchers worked the drill to ready the team for a July resumption in Philadelphia.
