The St. Louis Cardinals have placed infielder JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day injured list with right wrist tendinitis, the team announced. Infielder Cesar Prieto was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Wetherholt, a ROY candidate, has experienced pain in his wrist for about a month, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, as reported by MLB Trade Rumors. Sportsnet's Associated Press report described Wetherholt as a "star rookie," while ESPN identified him simply as a rookie infielder.
