Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Wednesday that prospect right-hander Shelby Miller is dealing with tightness and soreness in his shoulder.

Miller will get a break from throwing, but the Cardinals are confident it's nothing serious. Assuming he bounces back quickly, the 22-year-old has a good chance to fill Chris Carpenter's spot in the starting rotation. Joe Kelly and Trevor Rosenthal are also in the mix.
