· CARDINALS: Jason Isringhausen is set to make his spring training debut Thursday, right on schedule.
The right-handed closer missed the World Series after hip surgery in September. He threw to hitters on a back field in Jupiter, Fla., for the third time yesterday and by all accounts was sharp. He expects to be ready for the start of the season.
"I just went out there and threw the ball, and everything was in place where it was supposed to be," said Isringhausen, who had an NL-high 10 blown saves last year while pitching with pain.
Because of Isringhausen's improved health, the Cardinals plan to move postseason closer Adam Wainwright into the starting rotation.
· PADRES: Greg Maddux was scratched from a scheduled start against the White Sox because of a mild lower abdominal strain.
· ROCKIES: Catcher Javy Lopez was released.
