ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals have place outfielder Brian Barton on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right side muscle.

Barton is hitting .269 with two homers and 13 RBIs in 130 at-bats.

He was injured beating out a bunt for a single during a career-best three-hit game on Sunday.

Outfielder Nick Stavinoha, batting .337 with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs at Triple-A Memphis, was recalled for his third stint with the team.

He was batting .200 (5-for-25) with four RBIs with St. Louis.
