ST. LOUIS (AP) - Cardinals utility player Scott Spiezio voluntarily sought treatment for "possible problems related to substances" that the team did not specify.
Spiezio, who has relished a hard-rocking image through his 12 seasons in the major leagues, was placed on the restricted list Thursday and will be paid while he undergoes treatment. He has not played since Sunday.
St. Louis manager Tony La Russa would not say what substances were involved or where the treatment will take place. La Russa said the team learned of the problem Wednesday night, and expected that Spiezio "absolutely" will return this season.
