    The St. Louis Cardinals got some help at third base on Thursday, acquiring Pedro Feliz from the Houston Astros for minor league pitcher David Carpenter.

    The Cardinals also placed catcher Jason LaRue on the 60-day disabled list. LaRue sustained a concussion in a fracas with the Cincinnati Reds earlier this month.

    Felipe Lopez has been starting at third base since David Freese was sidelined by injuries in June. He's slumped at the plate and in the field lately, committing two errors on Wednesday, prompting the Cardinals to go after the 35-year-old Feliz.

    He started for the Philadelphia Phillies' 2008 World Series team and has played 97 games for the Astros while batting .221 with four homers and 31 RBIs. Feliz also has the second-best fielding percentage among third baseman since 2007 at .967.

    He's made 60 starts at third base and 10 at first base for Houston.
