Injured St. Louis Cardinal relief pitcher Todd Worrell will undergo arthroscopic surgery Wednesday to relieve irritation in his right shoulder, further postponing his major league comeback.
Worrell, 31, probably won’t be able to pitch until September, the team said. He hasn’t pitched in the major leagues since September of 1989 because of an elbow injury that required surgery. He also encountered shoulder problems while rehabilitating his elbow.
Worrell has 126 saves, one short of Bruce Sutter’s team mark.
