Motte tweeted the ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow "went well." The Cardinals announced before their game against the Cubs that they had activated first baseman Matt Adams (right oblique) from the disabled list. Motte was placed on the Cardinals' disabled list March 29 with right elbow soreness. After trying to rehab the injury and play catch, the team decided he should have the elbow-ligament replacement procedure.
