The St. Louis Cardinals placed late-inning reliever Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list Monday with a strained right forearm.
The move is retroactive to Saturday. In a corresponding transaction, the Cards recalled fellow right-hander Jake Woodford from Triple-A Memphis.
Helsley, 28, is 3-4 with a 3.24 ERA and seven saves in 22 relief appearances this season. Giovanny Gallegos has a team-leading eight saves.
Woodford, 26, is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA in seven games (six starts) for the Cardinals this season.
