The Cardinals have claimed first baseman Matt Adams off waivers from the Nationals, the team announced Tuesday. So who was the mystery team who claimed Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy on waivers? Schwarber has hit two home runs in his last three games, but the Cubs have scored four runs – all on home runs – in their last four games, in which they were 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position. Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is clearly excited to have Adams back, as he tweeted that he is going to “bathe” Adams in his salsa. Murphy, 33, has only featured in 56 games this season due to injury, but he’s now slashing.300/.341/.442 with six home runs, 29 RBIs and 17 runs scored. Washington is six and a half games out of a postseason position and is 3-7 in its last 10 games. The Cardinals drafted Adams in the 23rd round of the June 2009 First-Year Player Draft. During 486 games with St. Louis, Adams hit.271 with 56 home runs. Infielder Patrick Wisdom was optioned to the club’s Triple-A affiliate in Memphis. The Cardinals take on the Dodgers Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Wisdom, 26, goes back to the minors, where he played 747 career games before getting his first major league call-up August 11. Carlos Martinez was activated from the 10-day disabled list.
