CINCINNATI (AP) _ The St. Louis Cardinals activated switch-hitting catcher
Brayan Pena from the 60-day disabled list and promoted rookie catcher Carson
Kelly from Triple-A Memphis.
St. Louis designated Memphis infielder Dean Anna for assignment to make room
for Kelly and transferred pitcher Seth Maness (right elbow) from the 15-day
disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Left knee inflammation has limited the 34-year-old Pena to just four games this
season. He batted a combined .286 (8-for-28) with one home run and eight RBIs in
nine combined games with Single-A Palm Beach and the Gulf Coast League Cardinals
during a recent injury rehabilitation assignment.
Kelly, the Cardinals second-round draft selection in 2012, will make his major
league debut.
