Springfield, MO - The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that RHP Adam Wainwright is expected to make a Major League Rehab Start for the Springfield Cardinals at Hammons Field this Wednesday, April 19.

The Cardinals host the Midland Rockhounds on Wednesday for some Day Baseball with a 12:05pm first pitch. Wednesday is the Springfield Cardinals PLAY BALL Education Day with the Discovery Center.

Wainwright, one of the most legendary Cardinals in franchise history, holds a record of 195-117 with a 3.38 ERA through 457 games and 390 starts throughout his Major League career, spent entirely as a St. Louis Cardinal. The three-time All-Star is currently the longest tenured active Major Leaguer to appear for the same franchise, and only Stan Musial (22 years, 1941-44, '46-63) and Yadier Molina (19 years, 2004-2022) were St. Louis Cardinals longer than Wainwright. He ranks 2nd among Cardinals all-time strikeout leaders with 2,147 in his career, trailing only the great Bob Gibson, and 3rd all-time with 195 career wins. He and Yadier Molina made history in 2022 as a starting battery for 328 career games, breaking the record of 324 career starts by Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan of the Detroit Tigers from 1963-1975.

Wednesday's Rehab Start will be Wainwright's fourth time pitching at Hammons Field, following three other MLB Rehab Assignments, one in 2008 and two in 2018.
