shoulder tendinitis

Cardinals right-hander John Smoltz is being held out of his scheduled start Monday against the Florida Marlins because of shoulder tendinitis.

Smoltz, 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in four starts with St. Louis after being released by the Boston Red Sox, said Saturday he expects to miss only one start.

His next scheduled outing is Sept.

Starting pitcher Scott Kazmir and closer Troy Percival have been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Kazmir has a left quadriceps strain, and Percival has right shoulder tendinitis. The moves were made Friday before the start of the Rays' weekend series against the Florida Marlins.
