The Cardinals' top prospect, pitcher Shelby Miller, will be promoted to Class AA Springfield next week and join their rotation in time for his next scheduled starter. Miller was among the first to announce the promotion when he took to his Twitter feed (@ShelbyMiller19) this afternoon and wrote: "Headed to Springfield!" The righthander, who the Cardinals selected in the first round of the 2009 draft, is coming off a regular season-high 12 strikeouts in his final start for High-A Palm Beach.
