Cardinals Lt. Kwang Hyun Kim was supposed to start the tilt against the Cubs on Sunday (Game 4 of this five-game series), but was taken to the emergency room today due to a stomach ache.
In the process, the cardinals developed rotation plans:
Dakota Hudson has moved back to Sunday. Today’s Game 2 will be a ballpoint day. Going for the poof plan #stlcards https://t.co/7XkFPVSy1a

Instead of starting the second game today, Dakota pushes Hudson to replace Kim for the day, while Bullpen plans to take over the second half of the doubles title on Saturday (the kids do the same thing).
After the Cubs had already followed Jack Flaherty, the cardinals were forced to use a lot of their bullpen yesterday, so aside from the obvious concern we all share for Kim (they work best), this is a cousin tragedy for the Cardinals staff.
The cardinals activated Andrew Miller, however:
We activated LHP Andrew Miller from the 10 day injury list and added LHP Kwang Hyun Kim to the 10 day IL, with retroactive effect until September 2nd.
