ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals third baseman Jhonny Peralta is going back on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained ligament in his surgically repaired left thumb.The 34-year-old Peralta is batting .221 with five homers and 13 RBI. He missed the first 57 games of the season before returning June 7.St. Louis made the move Tuesday.Peralta hasnt played since getting removed in a double switch on Sunday while being bothered by pain in his thumb. Theres been inflammation the last few weeks from getting jammed at the plate.It just didnt look good, we saw that early on, manager Mike Matheny said. The swing through just didnt feel right.The three-time All-Star underwent surgery in March for an injury in a different spot on the thumb from landing awkwardly on the thumb, but general manager John Mozeliak said there was no doubt the two injuries are related.The team is hopeful Peralta will resume baseball activities in 10 days but wasnt sure whether he would be ready to go at the end of the 15 days.I think we were trying to be patient with this, Mozeliak said. I think the best thing for him right now is some rest.Peralta averaged 19 homers and 73 RBI the previous two seasons. He moved to third base due to the emergence of rookie All-Star shortstop Aledmys Diaz.Greg Garcia started at third base on Monday and Jedd Gyorko was at that spot on Tuesday.Outfielder Jeremy Hazelbaker was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to replace Peralta. St. Louis also recalled right-handed reliever Miguel Socolovich and designated catcher Mike McKenry for assignment.Socolovich was called up because of the potential workload in the bullpen with 17 games in a row.Hazelbaker was on the opening day roster and has made 44 starts, batting .250 with seven homers and 19 RBI. Hes among the top pinch hitters in the majors with three homers, a .368 average and six RBI.Socolovich is 2-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 35 games at Memphis.Peralta, in the third year of a four-year, $53 million deal, joins fellow starters Brandon Moss and Matt Carpenter on the DL.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose signed pending restricted free agent forward Tomas Hertl to a two-year contract Thursday worth a reported $6 million, keeping one of the teams top young players in the fold as the Sharks try to build on last seasons trip to the Stanley Cup Final.The 22-year-old Hertl is coming off his best season as a pro, having recorded career highs with 21 goals and 25 assists in 81 games. He thrived when moved to the top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski in the middle of the season and was a big reason behind San Joses postseason success.I wont even put a limit on him, general manager Doug Wilson said. He just gets better and better. Hes a big, strong guy. ... When we drafted him, we expected him to be a dominant player and so does he. He has high expectations for himself. He loves to play the game. You can see that smile on his face. Its contagious.Hertl got off to a fast start as a rookie in 2013-14, scoring 15 goals in 35 games before being sidelined by a knee injury. He returned late that season and struggled to regain that form in his second year as a pro.But after scoring just four goals in his first 37 games last season when he played both center and wing, Hertl surged when moved to the top line as a wing alongside Thornton and Pavelski. Hertl had 17 goals and 14 assists in the final 44 games and was productive in the playoffs as well with six goals and five assists in 20 games.Hertl injured his right knee late in Game 2 of the final against Pittsburgh and his absence the rest of the way played a role in San Joses six-game loss to the Penguins.The Sharks expect him to pick up where hee left off when next season starts.ddddddddddddWe think this guy is a high-end player, Wilson said. When you have that physical gift with the size and the hockey sense that he has. But he has this love of the game that all the top players have. Throw that combination together and we think hell be a great player. We really do. Big games and big situations he likes to step up. We missed him when he was out against Pittsburgh. Theres no doubt.Wilson said he expects to have conversations next summer with Hertl about a longer-term deal but both sides thought it was best to opt for a bridge contract because of Hertls potential to emerge into a star. He will be eligible to be a restricted free agent when this deal is done in 2018.Its good for me too because now I have two years to show my best hockey and show I can play longer here with the Sharks,, Hertl said. Its on me. Its better to sign the contract and well see the next two years how I play.Hertl said he is progressing well from the injury suffered in the final and will not need surgery. He said he expects to be 100 percent by the time the season starts but is not sure if he will be healthy enough to play for his native Czech Republic in the World Cup in September.Wilson said he is having talks with two other pending restricted free agents: forward Matt Nieto and defenseman Dylan DeMelo. Wilson previously said he will let pending unrestricted free agents Roman Polak, Nick Spaling, James Reimer and Dainius Zubrus hit the market on Friday. ' ' '
