ST. LOUIS (AP)—The St. Louis Cardinals activated shortstop Khalil Greene(notes) from the 15-day disabled list, and optioned right-hander Mitchell Boggs(notes) to Triple-A Memphis.

Greene has had two stints on the disabled list because of social anxiety disorder and has been limited to 47 games in his first season with St. Louis. He’s hitting .200 with five home runs and has committed eight errors. He is hitless in his last 16 at-bats.

He was not in the starting lineup against the Houston Astros Saturday but manager Tony La Russa considered it.

Greene batted .325 with four home runs and eight RBIs while on a rehab assignment with Memphis.

Mitchell was recalled Friday to start against Houston. He gave up two runs in five innings but walked five and threw 99 pitches.

    Greene is an introvert he can't come to grip's with reality. While in SD he showed no class and was not a team player he is just the type to hit a home run and go sulk in the corner I'm suprised La Russa didn't pick up on this before he traded for him. He will flame out again guaranteed, doe's not handle pressure and will self destruct . He has had flashes of brilliance followed by sulking and self induced depression. Good ridance and wish the Card's well my second favorite team to the World Champiom Phillies

    Go Cards Go.
    The St. Louis team as of right now is enough to win the central and go deep into the playoffs.
    Barring an injury to a key component the Cards have put together a great team at bat and in the field.
    The F_L_U_B_S will not get it done and the rest of the division is so bad.
    The Cards will do it this year.

    Now since Khalil Greene is activated. The Cards now have way too many infielders. Julio Lugo may not even get the playing time like he has been getting. I think Joe Thurston should be sent down to Triple AAA-Memphis. Eventually the Cards need to get Wellemeyer back into their starting rotation. I know he's been struggling but this guy can pitch. He can help them out in the playoffs.

    Yeah but why the eff would you trade Brian Barton for someone if you were going to have to release him a month later? Mo better get Derosa or Matt Holliday in the next two weeks. I mean it.
