Cardinals Make Roster Moves Ahead of Next Game

The St. Louis Cardinals have activated veteran pitcher Adam Wainwright from the 15-day IL and selected the contract of catcher Tres Barrera. Infielder Taylor Motter was designated for assignment, while Guillermo Zuniga was optioned to Triple-A. Wainwright will start today's game, and his return should help stabilize the Cardinals' struggling rotation. The selection of Barrera sees the Cardinals shift major off-season recruit Willson Contreras off catching duties, with Contreras now primarily seeing time at DH and in the outfield.

Cardinals demote top prospect Jordan Walker to Triple-A and sign Taylor Motter.

The St. Louis Cardinals have sent rookie outfielder Jordan Walker to Class AAA Memphis, while bringing back infielder Taylor Motter to the major league roster. Walker had been struggling at the plate recently, prompting the team to give him some time away from the lineup to work on reducing his groundball rate. The Cardinals' outfield has become a jumble of playing time with no clear everyday starter, and the move adds to the turbulent feel of their current road trip. The Cardinals have not yet provided an explanation for the move.

"Cardinals face tough roster decisions as prospects shine in Spring Training"

With Paul DeJong likely to begin the season on the injured list, Taylor Motter, Kramer Robertson, and potentially Masyn Winn are competing for the reserve infield job on the St. Louis Cardinals roster. Motter started strong in Spring Training but has since cooled off, while Robertson has impressed with a .316 batting average and strong plate discipline. The Cardinals have a good problem with a roster crunch and these players will have ample time to prove themselves before the season begins.
