This was not in the cards for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2015 season. Redbirds Ace RHP Adam "Waino" Wainright will be out for the remainder of the 2015 season due to an torn Achilles suffered against the "Brew Crew" this past weekend.  

Initial reports were it was an Ankle, Achilles, and Foot and now through numerous media outlets its confirmed a torn Achilles. The Redbirds now must move fast and in a hurry as their Starting Rotation takes a huge hit as well as if they get to the postseason.

Let's take a look at the Redbirds 2K15 post-WAINO:

2K15 RedBirds Starters in Order:

RHP Lance Lynn
RHP John Lackey
RHP Michael Wacha
RHP Carlos Martinez

Redbirds still have Arms but that #1 Arm will be missed. #1 Arm to call up LHP Marco Gonzalez is currently on the 7-day DL. RHP Carlos Villanueva is right behind him with both LHP Tyler Lyons and LHP Tim Cooney most likely to get the call up to get some starts in that 5-man rotation.

Note: Wacha hopefully will get back to his 2013 self after that surgery and injury-plagued 2014.  

As we go to press the Cards are a game up in the NL Central on the Cubbies at 12-6...
