CHICAGO (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have activated veteran reliever Luke Gregerson from the 10-day injured list after he missed the first five weeks because of a right shoulder impingement. The 34-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched in a major league game since last July. He missed the start of last season because of a hamstring injury and struggled through 17 appearances, posting a 7.11 ERA, before being shut down because of the shoulder problem.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Maximum Security is the 9-2 favorite in early wagering for the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The Florida Derby winner is 4-0 in his brief career.
