The St. Louis Cardinals placed right-hander Trevor Rosenthal on the 15-day disabled and recalled left-hander Dean Kiekhefer from Triple-A Memphis prior to Tuesday's doubleheader versus the New York Mets.

St. Louis also recalled Sam Tuivailala to serve as the club's 26th man. He is available for the second contest against the Mets.
