Cardinals manager Oli Marmol will promote top prospect Joshua Báez from Triple-A Memphis to the majors for Saturday’s game vs. the Cubs, likely giving him an everyday outfield role. Báez has 34 homers, 90 RBIs and 21 steals in 461 Triple-A plate appearances this season, while slashing .256/.328/.573, though he carries swing-and-miss concerns that fantasy managers may tolerate for his power/speed upside.
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.
The St. Louis Cardinals have several options to replace the injured Paul DeJong on the roster, but top prospect Masyn Winn is not the best choice for the role. While Winn's talent and potential have drawn comparisons to Francisco Lindor, he needs consistent playing time to continue his development. Starting the year in Triple-A Memphis would be the best move for Winn, and he could potentially make his debut in St. Louis in mid-2023.
