  • ST. Joe Theismann Jersey . LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals are set to place first baseman Lance Berkman on the 15-day disabled list with a left calf injury he aggravated chasing a popup. General manager John Mozeliak said the team would activate utilityman Skip Schumaker from the DL in time for Friday nights game at Pittsburgh. Schumaker was on a rehab stint with Triple-A Memphis and played centre field Wednesday night, going 2 for 4. Berkman said he took a bad step going after a popup, aggravating an injury that sidelined him last weekend. Rather than battle through the injury, the club felt it best that Berkman take enough time to recover. Before the Cardinals played the Reds on Thursday, manager Mike Matheny said Berkman was day to day with no change in his condition from the previous night. But Berkman thought after Wednesday nights game that hed need some time. "It doesnt seem like its going to be one of those that you can really push through," Berkman said. "Its certainly frustrating. I dont like missing time, I like being in there, being productive." The 36-year-old Berkman was batting .348 with two RBIs in seven games. He was not in the lineup Thursday against the Reds. "I certainly thought it was manageable and it wasnt prohibitive," Berkman said. "I took a bad step on that popup and it really kind of aggravated it pretty good." Rookie Matt Carpenter, who made the club because of Schumakers injury, has started the other six games at first base. He entered the day batting .375 with one homer and was among the league leaders with 11 RBIs. Schumaker batted .283 last year in 367 at-bats with two homers and 38 RBIs as the primary second baseman. Before he was injured in spring training, the team had envisioned him as a super utilityman who could also start at all three outfield spots. Kirk Cousins Jersey .

Mainz midfielder Nicolai Mueller opened the scoring in the 12th minute, when he shrugged off Marvin Plattenhardts challenge before slotting the ball beyond Patrick Rakovsky inside the far post. Nine minutes later, Andreas Ivanschitz sprung the offside trap before rounding the Nuremberg goalkeeper and dinking the ball into the empty net. "We dominated in every area for 30 minutes and then we took the foot off too much," Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel said. Nuremberg had to attack, and Hiroshi Kiyotake drew a good save from Christian Wetklo before Per Nilssson headed wide. Robert Griffin III Black Jersey. The visitors deservedly scored five minutes before halftime, when Nilsson met Kiyotakes free kick with a towering header, but the equalizer never came.
