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.

Dustin May's Cutter-Driven Breakout Revitalizes Cardinals Pitching

After a rough start to 2026, Dustin May revived his season by leaning into a cutter as his primary fastball, reducing four-seam usage and sharpening location. In 11 starts since the shift, he has a 2.63 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and higher strikeout rate, aided by reviving his curveball as a complementary weapon, with coaching discussions emphasizing optimal usage and pitch sequencing to unlock his performance with the Cardinals.

DeGrom’s gem lifts Rangers to 2-1 win, four-game streak continues

Texas Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 to extend their winning streak to four, tying a season high. Jacob deGrom earned his 100th career win with eight strikeouts across five scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to 3.48. The Rangers leaned on a productive middle infield (Duran/Lopez) who combined for five hits, and they stole three bases — the club’s first three-base game of the season. Cardinals relievers allowed the lone run via Masyn Winn’s homer off Peyton Gray, while deGrom’s outing anchored the victory.

Uribe Suspended One Game Over Dugout Gesture Toward Cardinals

Major League Baseball suspended Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe for one game and fined him an undisclosed amount for a gesture directed at the Cardinals’ dugout after striking out Alec Burleson; the discipline is held in abeyance while his appeal is heard. Brewers manager Pat Murphy called the action unacceptable, Uribe apologized to Brewers personnel but not to the Cardinals and criticized Cardinals manager Oli Marmol for comments suggesting retaliation. If upheld, Milwaukee would be a man short for one game, though Uribe could drop the appeal before a game he wouldn’t be eligible to pitch anyway.

Misiorowski Masterclass Sends Brewers Past Cardinals 5-1

Jacob Misiorowski struck out a career-high 12 over seven strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits as the Brewers toppled the Cardinals 5-1. Milwaukee jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a William Contreras RBI single and Christian Yelich’s fourth homer, while St. Louis finally broke through with a sixth-inning run. The Brewers added two more in the seventh, capped by Vaughn’s RBI double and an RBI single by Mitchell, then rode a bullpen trio to seal the win. Misiorowski lowered his ERA to 1.83, and the series continues with Kyle Harrison vs. Michael McGreevy.

Walker's Movement-Driven Breakout Rewrites Cardinals Hopes

Jordan Walker’s early-season surge comes from a movement-based hitting overhaul—combining Driveline analysis with Cressey work—that emphasizes hitting from his backside and hip drive rather than chasing launch angle. The Cardinals’ more personalized coaching, praised by Chaim Bloom, suggests his upside is alive as he competes for a spot and aims for a big year.

Sox's Silent Bats Doomed in 3-2 Setback at Busch Stadium

Boston’s offense stayed quiet in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals in St. Louis. The top of the order contributed little (Duran and Durban 0-for), Willson Contreras delivered a golden sombrero and even lost an ABS challenge, Connor Connelly Early wasn’t sharp and the Sox bullpen couldn’t bail him out, while Dustin May looked like a breakout star on the mound for the Cardinals. The lone bright moment came from a productive baserunning play that brought a run.
