ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals left-hander Jaime Garcia has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a groin strain.
Garcia, who missed his previous scheduled start, suffered the injury running the bases June 24 at Miami.
He is 3-3 with a 1.69 ERA in seven starts.
Left-hander Tim Cooney has been recalled from Class A Peoria and will start Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. He was 6-4 with a 2.74 ERA in 14 starts at Triple-A Memphis.
Garcia and the Cardinals had said that he wouldn't need to go on the DL after missing the start. But he threw a side session on Saturday and came back sore.
