Wrist Pain Sends Wetherholt to 10-Day IL for Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals placed rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day injured list with right wrist tendinitis; Cesar Prieto was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Wetherholt has dealt with wrist pain for about a month and will see a specialist, with a minimal IL stint hoped for. The Cardinals sit at 68-69, 4.5 games back of the NL Wild Card, with a 1.6% playoff probability. Wetherholt, a former top-100 prospect, is hitting .242/.343/.370 with 17 home runs, 14 steals and strong defense (Outs Above Average +21).

Winn Goes on IL with Left-Thumb Fracture as Gorman Returns to Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals placed shortstop Masyn Winn on the 10-day injured list with a left-thumb fracture (backdated to Aug. 22) after he aggravated the issue on a slide; an MRI result is still pending and a return around early September is possible. Nolan Gorman was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to fill Winn’s roster spot, marking his first return to St. Louis in over two months. Winn has been strong defensively this season but the bat has slumped, while Gorman has struggled in Memphis and will look to contribute as the team navigates Winn’s absence.

Schwarber's 459-foot walk-off seals Phillies' dramatic ninth-inning comeback

Kyle Schwarber crushed a 459-foot walk-off homer into center field’s batter’s-eye to cap the Phillies’ four-run ninth inning, lifting Philadelphia to a 6-4 win over the Cardinals and extending their win streak to nine; Philly trailed by four before Sosa’s three-run double and De La Cruz’s tying single set up Schwarber’s blast, with teammates calling it unbelievable and comparing the shot to a plane taking off.

Brutal Ninth-Inning Blunder Lifts Cardinals Over Reds

With Cincinnati leading 5-4 and two outs in the ninth, Dane Myers couldn’t glove a routine fly off J.J. Wetherholt, the ball deflecting for an error that allowed two runs to score and gave St. Louis the lead; the Cardinals added four more in the top of the inning, Reds answered with four in the bottom, and Matt McLain’s bases-loaded line drive to Jordan Walker ended it at 10-9. Myers took responsibility, citing sun and a prior discussion with Friedl about the gap, while Reds manager Terry Francona called it a simple misplay as Cincinnati fell to 61-67 and seven games out of the NL wild-card with about a month left.

Diamondbacks land Lars Nootbaar to bolster lineup vs right-handed pitching

Arizona acquired outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the Cardinals for pitching prospects Daniel Eagen and Sandro Santana plus a player to be named later, and cleared 40-man space by moving Zac Gallen to the 60-day IL. Nootbaar, 28, is a lefty with elite on-base skills and strong platoon splits, expected to boost Arizona’s performance versus right-handed pitching as it pursues an NL Wild Card spot. He will be a free agent after 2027. The D-backs’ deadline move comes amid injuries and a PED-suspension affecting other players like Max Kepler.

D-backs land Lars Nootbaar, trade package under debate

Arizona is reportedly acquiring Lars Nootbaar, triggering fan debate over what the Diamondbacks will give up and how the versatile outfielder fits into the lineup as they push for the postseason. The thread riffs on potential return pieces (with mentions of Daniel Eagan and others), defensive positioning, and whether Nootbaar can provide a spark in Arizona’s outfield.

Brewers pivot to Dustin May as Skubal pursuit ends

Milwaukee, after missing out on Tarik Skubal, is acquiring rental starter Dustin May and rental lefty JoJo Romero from the Cardinals for minor-league prospects Alexander Frias and Josiah Ragsdale. May strengthens Milwaukee’s rotation floor with potential postseason value, while Romero adds left-handed relief depth; the swap earns the Brewers a solid, not ceiling-raising upgrade (grade C) and the Cardinals two mid-level prospects as they lean into a longer rebuild (grade B).

Cardinals DFA Tink Hence to Make Room for Mathews' MLB Debut

The St. Louis Cardinals designated right-hander Tink Hence for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for Quinn Mathews, whose contract was officially selected from Triple-A Memphis and will start today against the Blue Jays, with Matt Svanson optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move. Hence, once a top prospect, has battled injuries and posted a rough 6.64 ERA in a small Triple-A sample, leaving his future uncertain and potentially signaling a trade before the trade deadline.

Bregman, Happ deliver late in 10th to lift Cubs past Cardinals

The Cubs pulled out a 4-2 win in 10 innings over the Cardinals as Bregman doubled home Suzuki and Happ added an RBI double in the 10th, with Civale getting the save after Webb started the frame. It capped a 5-2 road trip, moved Chicago within 5.5 games of the NL Central-leading Brewers, and solidified the Cubs’ wild-card standing as they head to a series with the Yankees.

Cardinals shine in CBS Sports’ five-class 2026 MLB Draft ranking

CBS Sports ranks the five best classes from the 2026 MLB Draft: Chicago White Sox land the top class led by Roch Cholowsky with a strong supporting trio; Cleveland Guardians bolster their pitching depth with Liam Peterson and Logan Schmidt; Pittsburgh Pirates add solid long-term upside with Derek Curiel and Aiden Ruiz; St. Louis Cardinals assemble a deep, high-upside group around Trevor Condon and Tegan Kuhns; Tampa Bay Rays stockpile pitching talent led by Grady Emerson and Taj Marchand. The draft’s full impact will take years to evaluate, but the author’s favorite immediate group comes from St. Louis due to its breadth and upside.

Cardinals' Day 1 haul: seven high-upside picks earn an A-grade draft

Following Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft, the St. Louis Cardinals locked in seven selections and earned an A grade thanks to a mix of high-upside prep stars and promising arms, led by 13th overall Trevor Condon (an elite center fielder with speed and a growing hit tool), 32nd overall Tegan Kuhns (a pitcher with an outlier fastball and four-plus pitches), and 50th overall Rocco Maniscalco (a 17-year-old shortstop with a 70-grade arm). They added Andrew Williamson, Dawson Montesa, Caden Ferraro, and Dee Kennedy, creating a diverse, upside-rich class that scouts praised and that could yield Masyn Winn-like dividends in the Cardinals' system.

Arkansas Father and Son Die in Storm-Linked Plane Crash After Cardinals Game

A father and his 22-year-old son from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, were killed when their Beech 95-B55 crashed in a Monroe County field in Illinois on the way home from a St. Louis Cardinals game. Weather hampered the search until dawn; investigators say the aircraft appeared to turn to avoid a storm and entered a descending spiral as radar contact was lost.
