Chris Carpenter requires surgery:

Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter, sidelined since opening day with an elbow injury, will undergo arthroscopic surgery early next week after suffering a setback in his rehab program.

According to the Fox telecast, he'll miss three months. So ends a horrible week for the Cardinals. They lose Josh Hancock on Sunday, get swept by the Brewers and split with the Astros, losing by the unlucky score of 13-0 today. With Carpenter gone, the rest of the season doesn't look very good for this team.
