St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Randal Grichuk is headed to the 15-day with a lower-back strain, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Grichuk dealt with a similar issue in spring training, but this setback was the result of a weight-room mishap. Dean Anna will replace Grichuk on the active roster, with Peter Bourjos left as the lone reserve outfielder.
