September 20, 2004 With Chris Carpenter hurting and Matt Morris scheduled to get a start off, the Cardinals are considering giving Rick Ankiel a start this week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He hasn't been stretched out though, so it's unlikely he'd go long if he does start. |

September 2, 2004 Rick Ankiel, activated from the DL on Wednesday, could pitch as early as Friday on four days' rest after making his final rehab start for Triple-A Memphis, according to the AP.

August 16, 2004 Rick Ankiel allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings of work on Saturday in his rehab start at Single-A Palm Beach.

"The main things we're looking for are arm strength, command and confidence on the mound. They were all there." |
|
August 3, 2004 Rick Ankiel allowed one hit and one run in two innings on Monday in his first rehab appearance for Class-A Palm Beach. He struck out three and none, throwing 20 of 33 pitches for strikes, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
