Stanek Back, Bullpen Breathes Easy | St. Louis Cardinals News

Ryne Stanek is back in the Cardinals’ bullpen—just in time. After a brief paternity leave, the reliable righty returned Friday night, shutting down the Cubs in the ninth for a clean inning and a big win. His return eases pressure on a depleted bullpen that had to use seven pitchers in their last game after a starter went down early. With Stanek now on deck, the Cardinals feel more confident heading into their weekend series against the Cubs, especially with the need for late-inning firepower.
