Jordan Walden is expected to be on the same program as all of the Cardinals' other pitchers this spring, yet there is still some uncertainty about whether his shoulder can hold up for a full season, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.

Walden is expected to be on the same program as all of the Cardinals' other pitchers this spring, yet there is still some uncertainty about whether his shoulder can hold up for a full season, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.

Analysis:

Walden missed the final five months of last season due to rotator cuff and labrum damage. He's still expected to fill a setup role, but the Cardinals' signing of Jonathan Broxton and Seung Hwan Oh suggests that the team isn't sure how Walden will hold up.
