St. Louis placed Mike Lincoln on the disabled list on May 7th, though the move was retroactive to May 4th. Lincoln reported discomfort in his elbow early last week so the Cardinals ordered an MRI. The test revealed a partially torn ligament in his elbow. While the injury could lead to Tommy John, Lincoln currently plans to address the problem with four weeks of rest. Consequently, he's not expected back before July at the earliest and quite easily could be done for the season.
