You’ve likely already heard/seen by now that the Cardinals made a roster move this morning, releasing LHP J.C. Romero and filling his spot with RHP Eduardo Sanchez from Triple-A Memphis.

A few hours later, another bit of news: Major League Baseball named outfielder Carlos Beltran its National League Player of the Week. That was expected after the week Beltran has. He was simply fortunate not to be playing in the same league as Josh Hamilton, who had an historic performance last week.

Remember that tonight’s game begins at 6:08 p.m. CT, an hour earlier than usual. It will be televised on both ESPN and the usual FOX Sports Midwest.
