From the STL today article:
The Cardinals said that Adams would be an "in-game" decision on his availability to pinch hit because of the calf injury. He was supposed to see doctors during the game.
Before tonight's game, the Cardinals promoted outfielder Randal Grichuk and said that he would serve as the prospect who would see additional playing time with next week's games in the American League ballparks. Asked specifically about the possibility of Grichuk and Taveras being in the majors at the same time, Cardinals officials dismissed the notion.
"That's not a conversation we've had at this point," Matheny said.
Before the first pitch of Friday's game, Mozeliak said that Taveras' promotion could wait.
About two hours, as it turns out.
“They all have their own theories as to why he’ll be here or he’s not here,” Mozeliak said at the time. “The end game is you’ve got to be able to play him. If Matt Adams can play and Allen Craig is doing what’s doing, where are you going to put him? We’ve had players bang on the door before. They survived. It’s OK. He’s playing baseball, and that’s the best thing for him.”
Taveras has hit .325 with seven home runs and 40 RBIs in Memphis. He is considered one of the top prospects in all of the minors, and the Cardinals have billed him as the best hitting prospect the organization has produced since Albert Pujols.
