Back in action Tuesday
Bruihl (ankle) logged two scoreless innings in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Analyse
Bruihl had to be lifted from an outing Monday with a right ankle sprain, but he bounced back quickly and was available for the Cardinals' next game. Though he got off to a slow start this season, the lefty reliever has settled in nicely with a 1.31 ERA and 16:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings covering his last 15 appearances.

Expects to be 'fine'
Bruihl said that he expects to be "fine" after exiting Monday's appearance versus the Brewers with a right ankle sprain, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analyse
Bruihl rolled his ankle while fielding an infield single. The left-hander had thrown 23 pitches over 1.1 innings before being pulled, so there's a good chance he'll be unavailable for Tuesday's doubleheader regardless, but Bruihl should be able to avoid a stint on the injured list.

Suffers ankle sprain
Bruihl left Monday's game against Milwaukee with a left ankle sprain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. He allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings.
Analyse
Bruihl appeared to tweak his ankle while fielding an infield dribbler, and he exited the game immediately after the play. He'll presumably be sent for additional testing to determine whether a trip to the injured list is warranted.

Settling in after rough start
Bruihl logged 2.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts in Thursday's win over Atlanta.
Analyse
Bruihl was first out of the bullpen for the Cardinals after starter Dustin May exited with an ankle injury after retiring just two batters. The team's bullpen wound up turning in 8.1 scoreless frames in a comeback victory. Bruihl got off to a rocky start this season but has settled in, authoring a 1.04 ERA and 15:2 K:BB over 17.1 innings covering his last 13 appearances.
