Jay is expected to miss the Cardinals' Grapefruit League opener Thursday due to a wrist injury that required an offseason scope, Jennifer Langosch of MLB.com reports. Jay has been cleared to begin his workouts, and is expected to be ready for Opening Day, but it appears the 29-year-old is taking his time in his recovery. The fact that he hasn't been strictly ruled out at this point likely indicates he is nearly full-go, but if he can't go Thursday, his next opportunity to return to game action will come Friday against the Astros.
