[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1767869, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/armed-with-a-bag-of-workout-gear-wainwright-stayed-sharp-in-isolation-ready-to-pursue/article_f62fba42-8aef-5436-8986-0e5ef18ba453.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/dgoold']Derrick Goold[/URL] When Adam Wainwright received word that he had tested positive again for COVID-19 and would be confined to his hotel room again for several days, it all felt familiar. “It was a moment of — I think I’ve been here before,” the veteran starter said. “If COVID taught us anything it’s how to handle situations like that and how to get past it.” Back in isolation, at least he packed for it. Going back to the Cardinals’ outbreak during the 2020 season that lodged them in a Milwaukee hotel for a week and put them in quarantine for more than two weeks, Wainwright traveled with a bag of exercise gear so that he could, if necessary, work out in his room and keep his arm and body ready to start. That bag, which he had with him in San Francisco, and that individual work will allow him an expedited return after missing a start. Wainwright could start as early as Sunday against San Francisco. That would allow him, on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball national broadcast, to pair with catcher Yadier Molina for their 311st start together and their first chance to set a major-league record. The Cardinals’ next win in a game they start will be the 203rd, setting a new mark. “That’s the most important stat there is,” Wainwright said. “That’s one of the coolest things we’ll be able to do together, win the most games together as a battery.” He had a far different experience in late January when he tested positive for coronavirus and experienced three days of flu-like symptoms and two days of exhaustion, he described. Wainwright’s sense of smell has yet to return. [/QUOTE]
