ST. LOUIS — Sunday's game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Cardinals has been postponed because of rain at Busch Stadium and will be rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader here on Sept. 17, beginning at 12:15 p.m.
Left-hander Steven Matz was to have made his first start since May 22. Matz will have to wait a week to face the Reds or longer to oppose his most recent team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
Matz, who had a shoulder impingement, was activated from the 15-day injured list. Right-hander Drew VerHagen, who was on the IL not that long ago with a shoulder impingement, is back on the IL with a hip impingement.
As for infielder Edmundo Sosa, he is not seriously hurt after jamming his left leg into the wall in front of the box seats as he chased a foul fly on Saturday. He was not playable, though, and Nolan Arenado, the third baseman who is not going to the All-Star Game because of a sore lower back, was to serve as the designated hitter.
