Cardinals face player shortage during MLB London Series.

St. Louis Cardinals' starting pitcher Jack Flaherty has been scratched from Sunday's game due to hip discomfort, and several players, including reliever Jordan Hicks, second baseman Nolan Gorman, and outfielder Jordan Walker, have been affected by an illness sweeping through the clubhouse. The Cardinals might have to piece together the two games against the Chicago Cubs in London as a result. The Cubs have won 10 of their last 12 games and are within striking distance of the NL Central lead.
