Cardinals pitcher Mikolas to receive injection for ailing throwing arm

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in his ailing throwing arm, likely delaying his regular-season debut by about one month. St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said today that the injection will keep Mikolas from throwing for three to four weeks. Once he is cleared to throw, Mikolas will have to restart his throwing program from the beginning. Mikolas received a similar injection after last season to treat a flexor tendon issue.
