St. Louis Cardinals veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright is set to make his 2023 debut Saturday at home against the Detroit Tigers after recovering from a groin injury.
The 41-year-old suffered the injury in a weight room workout ahead of Team USA’s World Baseball Classic championship game against Team Japan.
Wainwright made three minor league rehab starts. He went 1-0 with a 6.23 ERA in 13 innings for both Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis.
Wainwright said before the season that the 2023 season will be his final season.
