Mark Mulder

8/2/2006

The St. Louis Dispatch reported that Mulder will start a rehabilitation assignment this weekend, as he tries to come back from a rotator cuff inflammation and irritation in his left shoulder. The left-hander was placed on the 15-day disabled list on June 22.

6/27/2006

Mulder, who has been on the disabled list since Thursday with a left shoulder injury, will not attempt to throw again until at least this weekend when team orthopedic consultant Dr. George Paletta will examine him. The Cardinals' left-hander had an MRI over the weekend, which revealed rotator cuff inflammation and irritation in his left shoulder. "We'll hope for shorter rather than longer," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "Whatever it takes."

6/25/2006

Mulder has rotator cuff inflammation and irritation in his left shoulder, an MRI revealed. The Cardinals' left-hander was supposed to come off the disabled list and start Sunday's game against Detroit, but Sidney Ponson tooks his spot in the rotation. Mulder, who was placed on the DL on Thursday with a shoulder strain, will be re-examined in about a week.

6/22/2006

Mulder was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a shoulder strain. The left-hander is coming off a forgettable outing in which he gave up nine earned runs and 10 hits in 2 1-3 innings of a 20-6 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

5/7/2006

Mulder allowed three runs in six innings, drove in a run with a double and notched his 100th career win in St. Louis' 7-6 win over Florida on Saturday.

8/28/2005

After being scratched on Saturday due to a stiff neck, Cardinal pitcher Mark Mulder will also miss his rescheduled start on Sunday with the same ailment. Manager Tony La Russa said that although Mulder showed signs of improvement, he still was not at 100 percent health. Cardinals relief pitcher Cal Eldred will get the start in place of Mulder. This will be Eldred's first start in the major leagues since 2001.

8/27/2005

The Cardinals scratched Mark Mulder from his scheduled start Saturday with a stiff neck. Unaware of how the stiffness began, Mulder hopes to be ready to go on Sunday. For the season, Mulder is 15-6 with a 3.74 ERA, while the Cardinals have gone 10-1 over Mulder's last 11 starts.

8/18/2005

Coming off one of his worst outings of the season -- seven runs allowed in four innings -- Mulder got back on track in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, going the distance to notch his second shutout of the 2005 campaign. The Cardinals' lefthander scattered five hits, struck out four and walked two. He has won six of his last seven decisions.

7/11/2005

Mulder is going to use the All-Star break to rest his strained groin, an injury suffered in Friday's meeting with the San Francisco Giants. The Cardinals' lefthander said the ailment is minor, and he plans to be ready for his next turn in the starting rotation. Prior to leaving Friday's contest, Mulder allowed just four hits over seven shutout innings.

6/23/2005

Mulder lasted just four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds, surrendering seven runs on 12 hits -- both season highs. The Cardinals' lefthander has just one win in his last five starts and has given up four or more runs in five of his last eight outings. For the year, he is 8-5 with a 4.75 ERA.

5/10/2005

Mulder keeps the victories coming, notching his fifth win in as many starts in Monday's meeting with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals' lefthander allowed just one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings of work, and he tied a career high with 12 strikeouts.

After allowing 10 earned runs in his first two starts, Mulder has given up just five earned runs in his last five outings. For the season, he is 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA and one shutout in seven starts.

5/5/2005

Mulder recorded his fourth consecutive win in Wednesday's 7-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The Cardinals' lefthander held the Reds' sluggers to just three hits over seven shutout innings, striking out three and walking one. For the season, Mulder is 4-1 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and one complete game in six starts.

Mulder isn't going to post high strikeout totals, but his consistency in all other pitching categories will help any fantasy squad. With the Cardinals' potent offense as support, he could be well on his way to notching a career-high total for wins in a season.

4/24/2005

Mulder seems to be his old self again. Following eight innings of two-hit ball against the Pirates last Tuesday, he went the full 10 innings to win a 1-0 decision over the Houston Astros Saturday, allowing four hits while striking out five and walking none.

Mulder lowered his ERA to 3.10 with his marathon effort.

4/19/2005

Winless with an 8.28 ERA in his previous nine starts dating back to last season, Mulder got back on track in Monday's victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cardinals' lefthander, who was acquired in an offseason trade for pitchers Danny Haren and Kiko Calero and minor league catcher Daric Barton, tossed eight sharp innings, allowing just two hits and one unearned run. He struck out two and walked three.

Mulder has notched 15 or more wins each of the last four seasons and has a 3.94 ERA for his career. Since 2001, only Curt Schilling has won more games in the majors than Mulder.

4/13/2005

Mulder's late-season struggles with the Oakland A's in 2004 have continued with his new club, the St. Louis Cardinals, to begin the 2005 campaign. The lefthander, who was acquired in an offseason trade for pitchers Danny Haren and Kiko Calero and minor league catcher Daric Barton, went 0-4 with a 7.27 ERA over his last seven starts last season. In two starts this year, he is 0-1 with an 8.18 ERA.

Mulder surrendered six runs on 11 hits over five innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds. He struck out three and walked one. Mulder has notched 15 or more wins each of the last four seasons, so expect him to get back on track very soon, especially with the Cardinals' potent offense as support.
