Helsley is not expected to be away from the team for more than this weekend’s games versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Helsley has become the closer for the Cards as this season has progressed.

Giovanny Gallegos is expected to be the closer this weekend should the Cardinals need one. Helsley is scheduled to return to the team no later than Monday when the Cardinals will play the Chicago Cubs.
The Cardinals will have Dakota Hudson on the bump Saturday, and Madison Bumgarner of the Diamondbacks will oppose him. The Cardinals are +112 (1.5) on the run line and -142 on the money line, with an over/under of nine, over (-122), and under (+100).
