The St. Louis Cardinals placed right-hander Trevor Rosenthal on the 15-day disabled and recalled left-hander Dean Kiekhefer from Triple-A Memphis prior to Tuesday’s doubleheader versus the New York Mets.
St. Louis also recalled Sam Tuivailala to serve as the club’s 26th man. He is available for the second contest against the Mets.
Rosenthal, who has been nursing right shoulder inflammation, has posted a 2-5 mark with a 5.13 ERA in 40 games this season.
Kiekhefer has made 11 appearances with the Cardinals this season and recorded a 4-1 mark with two saves and a 2.00 ERA in 23 relief outings with the Redbirds.
Tuivailala logged two innings in three relief appearances with St. Louis earlier this month.
