The St. Louis Cardinals have placed Adam Wainwright on the COVID-19 injured list.

They also put Andrew Miller on the 10-day IL with a toe blister.

Wainwright has made five starts this season and has a 4.08 ERA. He last pitched on Monday, allowing two runs in nine innings against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Milwaukee Brewers have placed Corbin Burnes on the injured list with an unspecified issue.

Burnes, one of baseball's hottest pitchers, was scheduled to face the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend.

Craig Counsell said he couldn't comment on the situation when asked directly whether Burnes had tested positive for COVID-19.

"Corbin is on the injured list," Counsell said. "I can't discuss it."

Burnes, 26, is 2-2 with a 1.53 ERA this season. He has yet to issue a walk while striking out 49 batters.

The Milwaukee Brewers are moving along with their plan for Christian Yelich after an MRI on his strained lower back showed no major issues.

Yelich hasn't played since April 11.

"We basically just ruled out anything significant structurally that would show up on the MRI," Craig Counsell said. "We still need to make progress to get him back on the field and so from that perspective not much has changed. But we'll keep moving forward and see what some activity tomorrow at the field brings."

The Brewers could have activated Yelich this past weekend.

Cody Bellinger is still uncertain when he will return from a hairline fracture in his left leg.

Bellinger said Thursday that he feels "great," but the 2019 NL MVP must wait to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"I can't really do much until the bone heals, which depends on each person," he said. "But once that bone heals up, what I've been told is you're ready to go from there."

Bellinger was injured April 5 when Athletics reliever Reymin Guduan inadvertently spiked him at first base in Oakland.

George Springer will play in an intrasquad game Friday, the next step in his return from two strained muscles that have delayed his debut with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Springer signed a team-record $150 million, six-year deal with the Blue Jays this offseason. He has missed time with a strained oblique and right quadriceps strain.

The outfielder could return in this weekend's road series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

"He's excited; we're exceptionally excited," Ross Atkins said Thursday. "Tomorrow is a great day for George.

"He's doing all baseball activity, he's extremely confident and strong," Atkins said. "Now it's just a matter of recovery and putting him in a position to play nine innings and feel like he can face elite major league pitching. Tomorrow will be a very important day to determine what that next step is and what's best for him."

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet left his season debut Wednesday after two scoreless innings because of right forearm tightness.

Lamet will get an MRI and is considered day-to-day.

The right-hander struck out four after a single to start the game. He threw 19 strikes out of 29 pitches, reaching 97 mph on his fastball.

"He was feeling good, but it began tightening up on him in the second inning," Jayce Tingler said. "His fastball was salty today. Through all that he's been through, it's really the first setback of any kind he's had. But it's hard to simulate the adrenaline of an actual game. We'll have more info in a couple of days, but hopefully he can continue to pitch. It's day-to-day."

Lamet, 28, had not pitched since leaving his final start of 2020 with elbow discomfort and missing the playoffs.

The San Francisco Giants have placed Johnny Cueto on the injured list with a strained lat muscle.

Cueto has a Grade 1 strain beneath his pitching shoulder.

The right-hander exited in the sixth inning of his start Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds.

It seems as though Fernando Tatis, Jr. will return to the San Diego Padres sooner than later.

Tatis went down with a shoulder injury on April 5. The Padres later announced he had suffered a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder.

The young star took batting practice before Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's eligible to come off the injured list on April 16.

James Paxton will undergo season-ending surgery, according to the Seattle Mariners.

Scott Servais said Paxton will have surgery on his left elbow, but did not say Tommy John.

Paxton, 32, went on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a forearm strain in his pitching arm after leaving his first start of the season in the second inning after 24 pitches.

Los Angeles Angels starting right fielder Dexter Fowler has a torn left ACL that will require season-ending surgery, the team announced Sunday.

Fowler, 35, injured himself while sprinting into second base on an attempted forceout in Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin, Florida. Fowler beat the throw from Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette and didn't slide, prompting him to arrive awkwardly and crumple to the ground in pain.
