EDGE Analysis
Gregerson saw a string of eight consecutive scoreless rehab appearances snapped Saturday, but he bounced right back Sunday with a sharp 12-pitch effort in a loss to Frisco. Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports that the team plans to have Gregerson work one more outing at the minor-league level before determining when they'll activate him from the injured list.

Gregerson (shoulder) feels good following two outings with Triple-A Memphis but is likely headed to Double-A Springfield for a few more rehab appearances, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregerson has yet to pitch in the big leagues this season due to shoulder inflammation, but he could return in the near future if he continues to throw the ball well in the minor leagues. The Cardinals will likely activate Gregerson from the injured list if he fires a few more innings at Double-A without issue.

Gregerson (shoulder) fired two scoreless innings in which he allowed two hits and recorded a strikeout across two appearances with Triple-A Memphis against Round Rock over the weekend.
EDGE Analysis
The rehabbing right-hander has encouragingly looked as effective at the Triple-A level as he had in the lower rungs of the organization earlier in his rehab. With a pair of strong appearances against the caliber of competition closest to that of the big leagues, Gregerson could potentially be deemed ready for activation in the earlier part of the week.

Gregerson (shoulder), who fired a perfect fifth inning in Double-A Springfield's loss to Tulsa on Tuesday, will move his rehab to Triple-A Memphis, Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregerson has put in three appearances each at the High-A and Double-A levels, so he'll now get a crack at the highest level of competition short of the majors. The Cardinals plan to have the veteran right-hander pitch on back-to-back days for the Redbirds for the first time in his recovery before activating him from the injured list.

Gregerson (shoulder) fired a scoreless sixth inning in Double-A Springfield's win over Northwest Arkansas on Friday, recording two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The bump up in competition did nothing to slow down Gregerson, who's been impressive over multiple rehab appearances. He needed a modest 16 pitches to get through his one frame against the Naturals, nine of which found the strike zone. Gregerson could potentially head to Triple-A Memphis for his next rehab appearance, which could also be his final one before activation.

Gregerson (shoulder) is moving his rehab assignment to Double-A Springfield on Friday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregerson will see a bump in competition after mostly mastering High-A bats through three rehab appearances thus far. The right-hander may only need a couple of more minor-league outings in order to be deemed worthy of activation.

Gregerson (shoulder) started High-A Palm Beach's win over Daytona on Tuesday and fired a perfect first inning in which he recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Gregerson labored some while requiring 20 pitches, 10 of which found the strike zone, to get through his one frame. However, he's now put together back-to-back scoreless rehab appearances, and Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports that manager Mike Shildt feels Gregerson's shoulder has tolerated the minor-league work well thus far. Following his third appearance overall Tuesday, Langosch notes the team will now reevaluate whether Gregerson is ready to bump up at least one level in competition as he continues to work back toward activation.

Gregerson (shoulder) fired a scoreless sixth inning in High-A Palm Beach's win over Jupiter on Monday, recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second straight successful rehab appearance for the veteran reliever, who fired eight of 10 pitches for strikes. The efficient performance was a step up from Gregerson's first minor-league outing, when he allowed an earned run on two hits over an inning last Thursday versus this same Jupiter squad. Gregerson may bump up a level or two in competition for at least one more appearance before being deemed ready for activation.

Gregerson (shoulder) was credited with a hold in High-A Palm Beach's win over Jupiter on Thursday, allowing an earned run on two hits over an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Gregerson fired 18 pitches overall, 13 of which found the strike zone. The veteran reliever is trying to put his lingering shoulder woes behind him, with his current rehab assignment presumably the final hurdle before activation at the big-league level. Assuming there's no residual setbacks from Thursday's activity, Gregerson will likely see action again at the minor-league level at some point in the next several days.
