## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals pulled off a savvy move by sending veteran pitcher Bruce Zimmermann back to Triple-A Memphis after he pitched five innings in a doubleheader — and got unclaimed on waivers. Though his MLB ERA isn’t stellar, Zimmermann’s strong Triple-A performance (3.78 ERA) makes him a valuable depth piece. His return to the minors ensures the Cardinals keep a reliable arm ready for the second half, especially with injuries and doubleheaders looming. Smart move — and a win for organizational flexibility. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
