After spending most of the season with Johnson City of the Appalachian League, lefthander Rick Ankiel is returning to the St. Louis Cardinals. Ankiel was sent to Johnson City to harnass his control after disasterous stays with the Cards and Triple-A Memphis earlier this season. While Ankiel will be added to the roster once it expands to 40-players this weekend, the Cardinals are not saying what role he’ll play with the team, if any, down the stretch.
