Cardinals place DeJong (hand) on DL

Shortstop Paul DeJong was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured left hand one day after the St. Louis Cardinals' co-leader in home runs was hit by a pitch.

The fracture is to DeJong's pinkie, and he underwent surgery to repair it Friday afternoon.

"We'll take it week by week, but obviously he'll miss some time," Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak told reporters. "This is a huge disappointment. He was having a good year for us, making a lot of those positive adjustments at the plate and from a defensive standpoint was really holding his own."

DeJong was the only player on the roster to appear in all 41 Cardinals' games this season. He is batting .260 with eight home runs and 19 RBIs this season and has a team-high 71 total bases.

St. Louis right-hander Matt Bowman was also placed on the disabled list with blisters on his right index and middle fingers. To fill the roster spots, the Cardinals recalled infielder Yairo Munoz and outfielder Tyler O'Neill from Triple-A Memphis.

Bowman's transaction is retroactive to May 17.
