The St. Louis Cardinals placed OF Jim Edmonds on the DL with a pinched nerve in his back, and SP Braden Looper on the DL with a sore right shoulder.
Edmonds ends up on the DL at some point every year, and given his declining production, it's about time St. Louis found a replacement for him. Looper was destined to either fade or hit the DL this year as he's not used to starting every 5th day. It's debatable whether starting or relieving is harder on your arm, and I think relieving is due to the erratic pitching schedule, but the conversion is always a tough one.
Fantasy Impact: These are fringe guys for most people and unowned in many leagues, so odds are they were bench players that you weren't using very frequently anyways. Finding a replacement shouldn't be a problem.
