Ryan Helsley Cleared To Resume Rehab Assignment
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley (forearm), who underwent a second round of MRI exams this week on his right forearm, has been cleared to resume a minor-league rehab assignment. Helsley will make another rehab appearance on Friday for Triple-A Memphis, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The 29-year-old was pulled off his rehab assignment on Wednesday with renewed discomfort in his right forearm, but the MRI exams obviously didn't show anything concerning. If he can avoid any further setbacks, Helsley could return to the Cardinals' closing role before the end of August. Until then, Giovanny Gallegos and JoJo Romero will likely continue to share closing duties at the back end of St. Louis' bullpen. Helsley had a 3.24 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, seven saves and 33 strikeouts in 25 innings before his injury.
