Newsbreakers

October 3, 2009

Kyle Lohse allowed five runs (only two earned) on Saturday, as the Cardinals lost 6-5 to Milwaukee at home.

Our View:

Lohse was hurt by uncharacteristically shoddy St. Louis defense, but likely didn't do enough to push himself past John Smoltz to be the team's fourth starter in the playoffs. Smoltz's playoff success will likely be too much for him to overcome.

September 27, 2009

Kyle Lohse had yet another disappointing start on Sunday. The struggling right-hander allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings and fell to 6-9 after a 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

Our View:

Lohse has been awful this season since signing a four-year contract after a fine 2008 campaign. He has won just two games since May and has just two quality starts in the last two months. His battle with a forearm injury has been just one stumbling block in 2009.

September 21, 2009

Kyle Lohse gave up three earned runs on five hits over six innings in Monday's 7-3 win at Houston. He had one walk with four strikeouts.

Our View:

This was a decent performance for Lohse in his bid to remain in the Cardinals' rotation. He gave up four earned runs over 3.1 innings in his previous start against Atlanta.

September 20, 2009

ESPN.com is reporting that Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse has three more starts to prove he is capable of remaining in the rotation for the postseason. Lohse ha struggled with injury this season and has a 5-8 record.

Our View:

It looks to be too little, too late for Lohse in 2009. With John Smoltz as an option as a fourth starter, Lohse is going to have to be very good over his next three starts to earn his job. The way he has pitched this season, don't expect that too happen.

September 19, 2009

Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse is scheduled to start on Monday against the Astros, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Lohse missed his last start due to his injured forearm.

Our View:

Lohse threw a successful bullpen session on Friday, so he will get another chance to go on Monday. He has had a nightmare of a season, ad it seems highly unlikely he will be able to put it together in time to start in the playoffs.

September 18, 2009

Kyle Lohse fared fine during Friday's bullpen session, according to MLBblogs.com.

Our View:

Lohse was scratched from tonight's start due to his ailing forearm, but is expected to make his next start next week during the Cardinals' series against Houston, either Monday or Tuesday.

September 15, 2009

With his right forearm injury still lingering, struggling pitcher Kyle Lohse will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Lohse was dreadful in his most recent start last Saturday, and has been struggling with the injury since May. He seems more likely to be shut-down than placed on the Cardinals' postseason roster at this point.

September 12, 2009

Kyle Lohse was unimpressive in his first start since being activated off of the disabled list last week. He made it through only 3.1 innings, surrendering four runs on nine baserunners in an eventual 7-6 Cardinals loss to Atlanta.

Our View:

Lohse had a lot on the line Saturday, namely a spot in the Cardinals' postseason rotation. He might only get one or two starts going forward, if any, and needs to be drastically better if he is to have any chance of starting for the Cardinals in the playoffs.

September 7, 2009

The Sports Network is reporting that the St. Louis Cardinals have activated pitcher Kyle Lohse off the DL. Lohse has been sidelined with a strained groin.

Our View:

Lohse has been bitten by the injury bug several times this season, and he hope he will be fine for the rest of the year. He is scheduled to start for the Cardinals on Saturday against the Braves.

September 1, 2009

According to the Twitter page of MLB.com's B.J. Rains, Cardinals' pitcher Kyle Lohse threw to hitters at Busch Stadium on Tuesday. Lohse is recovering from a strained groin.

Our View:

Lohse is hoping to return to the team soon, and today is a step in the right direction. The Cards could use him back in the rotation when he is ready, but it remains to be seen how much longer he will be out. We will keep you posted.

August 29, 2009

Kyle Lohse (strained groin) is expected to be activated from the disabled list and rejoin the Carindals next Sunday in Pittsburgh, possibly as a relief pitcher, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

In 18 starts this season, Lohse is 5-8 with a 4.67 ERA.

August 29, 2009

Kyle Lohse is progressing in his recovery from a strained groin, and could be cleared for a rehab start at some point early next week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Barring a setback, Lohse is expected to return to the Cardinals' rotation in early September when eligible to come off the DL. Skipper Tony LaRussa noted that Lohse could have returned sooner if not for being placed on the DL.

August 27, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Kyle Lohse was feeling good after a bullpen session on Thursday. He is currently on the DL with a strained groin and the team indicates that they would like for him to make a minor-league start before he is re-activated.

Our View:

The Cardinals have not gotten what they were hoping for from Lohse this season, but he has put together some nice starts. With John Smoltz coming off of a strong performance in San Diego and a huge lead in the NL Central, they can afford to be patient with Lohse's rehab.

August 23, 2009

Kyle Lohse (strained groin) is optimistic that he will be able to return when first eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Lohse said he believes he didn't really need to go on the disabled list, but with the way he's been pitching lately, 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA since the All-Star break, it's hard to argue with the team's decision.

August 22, 2009

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed starting pitcher Kyle Lohse on the 15-day DL with a left groin strain, according to beat writer Matthew Leach's Twitter page. The team recalled pitcher Mitchell Boggs is a corresponding move.

Our View:

Lohse pulled up lame while running out a single last night, and he will make another trip to the DL. The Cards have to be discouraged with this injury, but the addition of John Smoltz may be even more important now.

August 22, 2009

Kyle Lohse is likely to land on the disabled list after straining his left groin running out a single on Friday night, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Mitchell Boggs will likely be recalled to take his spot in the rotation.

August 21, 2009

Kyle Lohse left Friday's start with a strained left groin.

Our View:

Lohse singled in the fifth inning and injured himself running to first base. If it's not one thing with Lohse this season it's another. He just can't seem to stay healthy and has pitched very poorly considering he just got paid a lot of money in the offseason to help anchor the Cardinals rotation. He was relieved by Dennys Reyes.

August 10, 2009

Kyle Lohse was in control from the hill in Monday's 4-1 win over the Reds at Busch Stadium, as he only allowed one earned run on four hits over six innings. He had no walks with three strikeouts.

Our View:

Lohse earned his fifth win of the season, and lowered his ERA to 4.34. He bounced back well from his last start when he was tagged for five earned runs over 2.2 innings at the Mets.

August 5, 2009

Kyle Lohse's struggles continued on Wednesday against the Mets. He allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks before being yanked after 2.2 innings.

Our View:

The depleted Mets cruised to a 9-0 win and Lohse was handed his seventh loss of the season. The Cardinal righty has been miserable since landing on the DL in early June, notching just two quality starts. He started the season 3-0, and now holds a disappointing 4-7 mark.

July 30, 2009

Kyle Lohse only issued one earned run on five hits over six innings in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers at Busch Stadium. He had one walk and two strikeouts.

Our View:

Lohse pitched very well tonight, and it is a shame he was dealt a no-decision due to a lack of run support from his teammates. On the positive side, he trimmed his ERA to 4.14, and has not taken a loss over his last two starts.

July 20, 2009

Kyle Lohse gave up three earned runs on five hits over seven innings in Monday's 3-2 loss at Houston. He had two walks and five strikeouts.

Our View:

Lohse did not pitch bad, but was dealt a loss due to a lack of run support from his teammates. He is now winless over his last three starts.

July 12, 2009

Kyle Lohse struggled a bit in his first start since being activated from the DL on Sunday as the Cardinals fell to the Cubs 7-3. Lohse went five innings and allowed four runs on eight hits while walking three and striking out two.

Our View:

Lohse didn't look sharp today, but it was his first start back since being hurt. He should get better after a few starts, but Lohse owners may want to watch him closely over his next few starts.

July 10, 2009

As expected, Kyle Lohse will be activated from the disabled list on Sunday and start the first game of the Cardinals day/night doubleheader with the Cubs, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Lohse was dominant in his final rehab start, and will be facing a Cubs team that has been struggling offensively of late. So even though he could still have some post-DL rust, you should start him in leagues with daily roster moves.

July 9, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse is probable to start one of the two games against the Cubs on Sunday. The two teams play a day/night doubleheader, and the thought is that Lohse will pitch the nightcap.

Our View:

Lohse looked excellent in his final rehab start, and the Cards feel comfortable going to him this weekend. The team hasn't announced which game he will pitch yet, but conventional wisdom would indicate that he would go in the late game with Adam Wainwright, the more reliable option, going early to save the bullpen. If you have Lohse on your team, be ready to activate him over the weekend.

July 7, 2009

Kyle Lohse had an excellent rehab start for Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, allowing only two hits in six innings while striking out six, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch's Derrick Goold.

Our View:

It sounds like Lohse is fully recovered from that forearm strain, and ready to rejoin the Cardinals rotation. Look for him to make his next start in the majors, and for Brad Thompson to be removed from the Cardinals rotation.

July 7, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse will make his final rehab start on Tuesday for Triple-A Memphis. Lohse is expected to start for the Cardinals this weekend in Chicago.

Our View:

Assuming all goes well tonight, Lohse will pitch this weekend at Wrigley, probably in the doubleheader. He should be good to go in fantasy lineups at that point, but check back to make sure he stays on track.

July 4, 2009

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse is expected to need only one more rehab start before he is able to return to the rotation. Lohse is scheduled to pitch on Tuesday in Triple-A Memphis.

Our View:

Everything appears to be on track for a return to the rotation next week in Chicago. Lohse is progressing nicely, so expect him to be ready to pitch in the team's doubleheader on July 12 at Wrigley.

July 2, 2009

Kyle Lohse had his first rehab start on Thursday since going on the disabled list on June 4 with a right forearm strain, according to MLB.com. Pitching for Double-A Springfield, he went 4.2 innings, striking out three and walking four while surrendering two runs.

Our View:

He's expected to start again next Tuesday. He is currently scheduled to return to the major leagues on July 12 when the Cardinals play a doubleheader at Wrigley Field.

June 28, 2009

The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that injured starter Kyle Lohse will throw a bullpen session on Monday to prepare for his Thursday rehab start in Double-A.

Our View:

Lohse has been limited to just one start since May 23rd and the Cards desperately need his arm healthy and back in the rotation. His rehab has gone smoothly to this point and barring any setbacks he should rejoin the team just before or right after the All Star break.

June 26, 2009

Kyle Lohse, who is recovering from a forearm strain, threw 85 pitches against live batters today at Busch Stadium, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

He became tired near the end due to the heat, but did not have any issues with his forearm, and feels ready to start a rehab assignment.

June 25, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse is skipping his scheduled bullpen session on Thursday and instead throwing to hitters on Friday. Lohse is expected to do a game-like warm-up and then throw to hitters for two-to-three simulated innings.

Our View:

Lohse skipping a bullpen session sounds bad, but in reality he is doing it because he was so encouraged by his last session. He may need a rehab start before returning, but for now it looks like he could be back in the Cards' rotation very soon.

June 23, 2009

Kyle Lohse threw an "expansive" bullpen session on Tuesday at Citi Field, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, throwing a normal warmup and then simulating a complete inning. He threw about 60 total pitches.

Our View:

Lohse seems to progressing very quickly from his forearm strain, and could be back with the Cardinals sooner rather than later. This is good news for the team, but bad news for struggling righty Todd Wellemeyer and fill-in starter Brad Thompson, who are the candidates to be removed from the rotation once Lohse is back.

June 22, 2009

Kyle Lohse threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session on Sunday without complications, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Lohse is scheduled to throw again Tuesday at Citi Field as long as there is no lingering stiffness from Sunday's session. The team is hopeful he will be back before the All-Star break.

June 20, 2009

According to Scout.com, Kyle Lohse is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday in Kansas City.

Our View:

Lohse is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm, but has been progressing nicely this week. If his bullpen session goes well on Sunday he would move on to a rehab assignment before coming off the DL and rejoining the team. His return would be a huge boost to a suddenly crippled Redbird rotation.

June 16, 2009

Injured starter (right forearm strain) Kyle Lohse threw from 120 feet on Tuesday according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Lohse said that things have been going well during his recovery, and that if they keep at the current rate he will be back "sooner rather than later." This would be great news for a beleaguered Cardinals team. However, Lohse fantasy owners shouldn't be expecting miracles from him when he gets back.

June 14, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse began a throwing program on Sunday. Lohse is recovering from a strained floxor muscle in his right forearm.

Our View:

Lohse is still expected to be out so another month or so, but it is a very good sign that he has started throwing. The Cardinals won't rush him back, but if he keeps progressing he could be back sooner than expected.

June 13, 2009

Kyle Lohse is progressing in his recovery from a right forearm strain, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has advanced to range-of-motion exercises.

Our View:

Lohse will be on the shelf for at least four weeks, and may even be out past the All-Star break. He should remain patiently stashed on fantasy rosters.

June 10, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that injured Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse (forearm) is out for a minimum of four weeks and potentially even past the All-Star break.

Our View:

Bad news for the Cardinals as the team is mired in the middle of a protracted slump. Lohse had been following up his excellent 2008 campaign with another solid season, going 4-4 with a 3.99 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Brad Thompson will take his starts while he is out.

June 5, 2009

As expected, Kyle Lohse has been placed on the 15-day DL due to right forearm tightness, according to the Associated Press. Tyler Greene was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to fill his spot on the roster.

Our View:

He looks to be on the shelf for a month, if not longer. Brad Thompson should help fill his spot in the rotation, and is worth a look for NL-only leagues.

June 5, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that that Cardinals plan to place starter Kyle Lohse on the 15-day DL with tightness in his right forearm. Lohse left his last start during the third inning of his last start. Reliever Brad Thompson is set to assume Lohse's spot in the rotation until his return.

Our View:

This is bad, but not unexpected, news for the Cardinals. While the injury doesn't seem all that serious, Lohse is expected to be out for more than the 15 days. The Cardinals want to make sure the arm is at 100 percent before they bring him back, so it will be at least several weeks before his return. Fantasy owners should find another option for now, but expect Lohse to be back to full strength when he returns.

June 4, 2009

Cardinals right-hander Kyle Lohse is likely headed to the disabled list after leaving Wednesday's game with tightness in his right forearm according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

No word yet from the Cardinals on this, but it seems probable considering the variety of injuries Lohse has suffered this season. If you have an available DL spot, his 3.99 ERA and 1.22 WHIP make him worth stashing.

June 3, 2009

The AP reports that Kyle Lohse left Wednesday's start against the Reds in the top of the third inning due to tightness in his right forearm.

Our View:

Lohse did not appear to want to come out of the game, and had been telling reporters that he was 100 percent for the past few days. He threw 39 pitches and allowed just one run on a Laynce Nix home run. A trip to the disabled list is possible.

June 3, 2009

According to MLB.com, Kyle Lohse will start, as expected, on Wednesday night.

Our View:

Lohse has had a laundry list of injuries this season, but has managed to avoid the disabled list. The sore forearm he's been dealing with after being hit by a pitch is apparently up to snuff and he has shown no ill effects in throwing sessions. Feel free to plug him back into your lineup.

June 1, 2009

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse is expected to start on Wednesday. Lohse was pushed back from his scheduled start on Tuesday, but he will avoid the disabled list.

Our View:

Lohse is reportedly feeling much better today after throwing a side session yesterday. This is great news for the Cards, as it was believed Lohse may require a trip to the DL. Start him Wednesday if you have him.

May 31, 2009

Kyle Lohse had his scheduled Tuesday start pushed back, as he's continued to experience soreness in his right forearm after getting hit by a pitch in his last game against Kansas City, according to the Associated Press. Lohse will pitch Thursday if he's medically cleared to do so.

Our View:

Lohse could land on the DL if he's not ready by Thursday. Brad Thompson will start in his place on Tuesday.

May 30, 2009

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Kyle Lohse is still experiencing discomfort in his right forearm, and he had to cut short his throwing session on Friday. If he is unable to pitch by Tuesday, the club will likely place him on the 15-day DL retroactive to May 23.

Our View:

Lohse has been a solid yet unspectacular fantasy option since signing with the Cardinals last spring. The injury is not the type that would require any surgery, and some prolonged rest should return him to normal.

May 27, 2009

Updating a previous report, Kyle Lohse has been officially scratched from his start on Friday, according to MLBlogs.com.

Our View:

Lohse is dealing with weakness in his forearm due to getting beaned in the series with Kansas City. He'll likely just miss this one start and with the off day Thursday, everyone will just move up a day. Joel Pineiro will start Friday.

May 27, 2009

Kyle Lohse is likely to miss his next scheduled start Friday due to forearm weakness caused from being hit by a pitch last Saturday during battle with the Royals, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

He ended a side session Tuesday when his arm failed to recover from a series of throws. The club indicated that Joel Pineiro may be moved up from Saturday to replace Lohse. He only expects to miss one start.

May 24, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that Kyle Lohse is sore after being hit with a pitch on Saturday night in the forearm, but he will be available to make his next start on Friday.

Our View:

Lohse has a pretty good welt on his forearm, but he should be fine since he gets an extra day of rest due to an off-day this week. Lohse owners shouldn't worry about him on Friday.

May 23, 2009

Kyle Lohse only allowed four hits over eight scoreless innings in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Royals at Busch Stadium. He fired six strikeouts and did not issue any walks.

Our View:

Lohse was in need of a strong outing as he was winless over his previous four starts, while allowing 17 earned runs over his last three. He improves to 4-3 for the season.

May 18, 2009

Kyle Lohse struggled again on Monday as the Cardinals fell to the Brewers 8-4. Lohse went four innings and allowed four runs on four hits while walking three and striking out five.

Our View:

Lohse was outstanding in April, but he has struggled badly as of late. The entire Cards' team is struggling right now, so you have to think he will get over this soon. Keep starting him for now in all leagues, but a few more bad starts may get him benched in fantasy leagues.

May 17, 2009

Kyle Lohse is slated to start Monday's game against the Brewers at Busch Stadium, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

His start on Friday lasted only two innings after being rained out. Lohse is pitching well with a 3-2 record and 1.28 WHIP over seven starts.

May 9, 2009

Kyle Lohse fell apart in the sixth inning on Saturday night. The five-run frame put the game out of reach and the Cards fell 8-3 to the Reds. For Lohse's part he allowed seven runs on nine hits and three walks over six innings and was handed the loss.

Our View:

Lohse started out like a man possessed this season. After his first five starts he was holding a 1.97 ERA, but 13 runs allowed over his last 10.1 innings has jumped it to 4.25. Looks like Lohse is coming down to Earth.

May 4, 2009

Kyle Lohse had his first bad outing of the year on Monday, giving up six runs in 4.1 innings pitched. He gave up seven hits and walked two while striking out four.

Our View:

Lohse has been the Cardinals' best pitcher so far in 2009, but he wasn't very good tonight. He gave up two homers, one a grand slam, and only worked into the fifth. Lohse should still be effective as the season goes on, so this one start shouldn't hurt his value.

May 3, 2009

The Cardinals have scratched starter Kyle Lohse from his scheduled start on Sunday due to poor weather. He will be replaced by Kyle McClellan.

Our View:

The Cards don't want to risk Lohse getting hurt pitchng in the rain, so they decided to push him back. Expect him to pitch sometime in the coming week, probably early against the Phillies.

April 28, 2009

Kyle Lohse pitched very well on Tuesday, but didn't factor into the decision as the Cardinals blew a late lead and fell 2-1 to the Braves. Lohse scattered four walks and four hits and struck out six over six scoreless innings.

Our View:

Lohse was trying to be the Cardinals' second 4-0 pitcher this month and pitched well enough to do so, but the bullpen fell once again. Five of the Cardinals' seven losses are now attributed to the pen. That has to be frustrating for Lohse, who lowered his ERA to 1.97 this season with Tuesday's performance.

April 28, 2009

Kyle Lohse will make his scheduled start tonight at Atlanta, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He jammed his right knee in his last outing but Lohse said, "It is good enough to go."

Our View:

Lohse is off to a strong start with a 3-0 record, 2.42 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. He is 2-1 over five starts against Atlanta, and should be safe to employ in fantasy lineups.

April 24, 2009

Updating a previous report, Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse will not miss his next scheduled start, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Lohse is feeling better and the MRI offered up positive results, so he see no reason why he would miss his next scheduled start. His knee made a scary pop while covering first base on Thursday, but all appears to be well.

April 24, 2009

Kyle Lohse's MRI on his injured right knee revealed no structural damage, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

The Cardinals, and fantasy owners, will be relieved, but it is yet to be determined if he will miss his next start. Lohse is off to a strong start with a 3-0 record, 2.42 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 26 innings.

April 23, 2009

According to the Post Dispatch, Cardinals' starter Kyle Lohse will have an MRI on his right knee Thursday night after feeling a pop while covering first in the fifth inning. He finished the inning, but was removed before the sixth.

Our View:

Lohse got the win, his third of the season, but this is not good news. The Cards can ill afford another injured hurler, and Lohse has arguably been their best this season. At least the injury isn't arm related, but we won't know the severity of it until the MRI results are in.

April 12, 2009

Kyle Lohse was excellent in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Astros. The right-hander threw nine shutout innings while allowing just three hits, no walks, and recording four strikeouts.

Our View:

Lohse is not a strikeout pitcher, but he knows how to get the job done, particularly against the NL's weaker lineups. He does the job well when expected to, but he can often be a poor play against strong offenses. Following today's performance, he is 2-0 with a 1.12 ERA. His two opponents have been the Pirates and Astros.

April 12, 2009

Kyle Lohse will make his second start of the season today at home against the Astros, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Our View:

Lohse earned a win in his season debut, and was 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA against the Astros in 2008. He merits fantasy consideration for today.

March 27, 2009

Kyle Lohse was kicked around by the Red Sox on Friday, surrendering 6 runs on 11 hits and two walks over five innings.

Our View:

Lohse had a fantastic first half last year, much to the surprise of, well, everyone. But his second half was right on par with his career numbers. Don't expect the miracle first half again this season. He should be solid, but not spectacular.

March 15, 2009

Kyle Lohse allowed one run on five hits and no walks over five innings of work as the Cardinals lost 2-1 to the Phillies on Sunday. He struck out five in the outing.

Our View:

This was Lohse's best outing of the spring to date. He is not a high strikeout pitcher, but he limits his mistakes and benefitted from playing in front of a good defense in a spacious park last season. The park is the same, but his middle infield has undergone an overhaul. The result could be less attractive numbers for Lohse in 2009.

March 10, 2009

Kyle Lohse recorded his second win of the spring after allowing two hits and one run over 4 1/3 innings of work on Tuesday. Lohse struck out four and allowed a home run in the win.

Our View:

Lohse enters the season as the number three starter and has set a goal of 15 wins for this season. He was strong for the Cardinals in 2008 and should put up some solid numbers. He is not a strikeout guy but will rack up a ton of innings for your staff.

March 3, 2009

Kyle Lohse did not allow any runs on three hits over 3.2 innings of work in Tuesday's 15-4 win over the Mets, with one strikeout and no walks.

Our View:

This was a solid outing from Lohse, who is slated to pitch in the middle of the Cardinals' rotation. He can handle a lot of innings, but is not a solid source for strikeouts.

February 26, 2009

Kyle Lohse was tattered for four earned runs on four hits, including two home runs, in two innings Thursday in St. Louis' 11-3 loss to Baltimore.

Our View:

Before his career season of 2008 had even ended, Lohse received a huge $41 million contract from the Cardinals. They will need him to be as good, if not better, this season with a good deal of question marks surrounding the health of other key members of the rotation.
