St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder Jon Jay sprained his right shoulder in a collision with the wall last Thursday and while an MRI revealed no serious damage to the shoulder, Jay is going to sit out Monday night's game against the Cubs.
Jon Jay said MRI this morning revealed no damage inside right shoulder, giving him comfort "to push it" thru exercises. Not playing tonight.
