Isringhausen out with a bad right hip.

Buster Olney was reporting on Cold Pizza that it's being reported in St. Louis that a bad hip will shelve Isringhausen for a week at least and it's possible he could be out for the remainder of the month.

ST. LOUIS -- Jason Isringhausen doesn't know any more about when he'll return to active duty than he did four days ago.
Isringhausen received a cortisone shot in his injured left hip on Monday, and he'll remain unavailable until at least Friday. Beyond that, though, it remains an open question.
"I don't know what's going to happen," he said on Monday afternoon. "I have no idea. We'll just have to find out Friday."
That's the day that Isringhausen will likely try throwing a bullpen session or a simulated inning to try out his hip. If it feels significantly better, he'll try to return to pitching. If not, a new set of questions will come into play. "We'll find out more Friday," Isringhausen said. "I think maybe if I can throw off a mound on Friday, we'll go from there."

Jason Isringhausen will miss the rest of the season because of his left hip injury, the Cardinals confirmed Saturday.
Isringhausen was able to get through a bullpen session on Friday, but he was still very uncomfortable. "We've done everything that we've been able to do up to this point to try and get him to pitch with an acceptable level of discomfort, and in a way that is not affecting his ability to pitch," said Cardinals head team physician Dr. George Paletta. "There are no more tricks. There are no more options. There are no more choices." Manager Tony La Russa confirmed that Isringhausen wouldn't be back. Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper are expected to share closing duties.

Leave Looper out of it Tony!
