Michael Thomas/Getty ImagesFor the second time this season Matt Ryan Jersey Limited , St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez is banged up and will miss time.Per MLB.com’s Jenifer Langosch, the 26-year-old was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a strained right oblique.The move comes after Martinez was knocked around in his last start against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday with six runs allowed (five earned) in five innings.Martinezpreviously landed on the 10-day disabled list May 10 with a right lat strain after starting the season in stellar fashion. Over his first eight appearances, the Cardinals’ opening-day starter went 3-2 with a 1.62 ERA and 1.080 WHIP.Now17starts into his sixth season, the right-hander has gone6-6with a3.39ERA,1.39WHIP and1.85strikeout-to-walk rate. The Cardinals rotation has already experienced its fair share of setbacks this season http://www.atlantafalconsteamo…..yan-jersey , with Martinez and Adam Wainwright going down,so interim managerMike Shildtwill have to hope his ace isn’t on the shelf long, as St. Louis is eyeing a National League playoff spot. A look at what’s happening around the majors on Monday:WILD SHOWDOWNMilwaukee leads the NL wild-card race by two games over St. Louis going into a three-game series at the Cardinals. St. Louis has a 1½-game lead for the second wild card over Colorado, which hosts Philadelphia.Right-hander Jack Flaherty (8-8, 3.08 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Cardinals and right-hander Chase Anderson (9-8 Authentic Calvin Ridley Jersey , 3.93 ERA) for the Brewers. Flaherty is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in four career starts against the Brewers.St. Louis has won six of seven coming in and Milwaukee three of four.SCOREBOARD WATCHERSThe Rockies could have a less-motivated opponent in four games at Coors Field. The Phillies were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, but at 78-77 hope to finish above .500 in manager Gabe Kapler’s first season.Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin (11-7, 4.09 ERA) will try to win his third straight start. Colorado opens its final homestand with left-hander Tyler Anderson (6-9, 4.76).ON THE ROADAfter failing to clinch a wild card at home, Oakland plays at Seattle and gives right-hander Daniel Mengden (7-6 Calvin Ridley Jersey Limited , 4.00 ERA) his first start since June 23. Mengden is 1-0 with 1.83 ERA in five relief appearances since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 27.NOT QUITE DEAD YETThe Rays would be a tough opponent in a wild-card game. Fortunately for the rest of the AL playoff teams, they likely won’t get there.Tampa Bay is 16-5 in September and a major league-best 25-7 since Aug. 19. And the Rays could send Cy Young Award hopeful Blake Snell (21-5, 1.90 ERA) to the mound in the winner-take-all game. But Tampa Bay would have to win all seven games on its final homestand and Oakland would have to lose its remaining six games for the Rays to overtake the A’s. The Rays host the Yankees and playoff-bound New York has plenty to play for, trying to stay ahead of Oakland and host the wild-card game.HOME-FIELD DISADVANTAGEThe NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers (87-69) are one game behind the NL East champion Braves (88-68) heading into the season’s final week, and whichever team finishes with a better record could end up getting home-field advantage in the NL Division Series. The question is whether either team would want it. Atlanta and Los Angeles have better records on the road than at home. The Braves finished their second season at SunTrust Park with a 43-38 record there and were 12th in the majors in average attendance. The Dodgers have great fan support http://www.atlantafalconsteamo…..ley-jersey , drawing nearly 47,000 a game, but went 44-37 at home, their worst record at Chavez Ravine since 2011.
