Memphis at Colorado Springs: Kevin Herget
Springfield at Tulsa: Conner Greene
Palm Beach at Clearwater: Anthony Shew
Peoria vs. Clinton: Zach PrendergastCardinals are doing Memphis no favors leaving them 2 pitchers short for all of these games. Springfield has an open roster spot as well. Godoy will most likely be the starter for Springfield. Chinea remains the backup and starting 1B with Nogowski still out. Palm Beach now has an open roster spot as well.
My guess (and it is only a guess) is only if he knew they would actually let him play. It had to be frustrating getting shuffled around only to catch bullpens. Every player wants to play. He got into 52 games in 2016 and just 37 last year and I don’t recall him spending any time out due to injury. Then this year, he had to stay in EST for a month with the kids. At least Molina’s rarely-used back up gets MLB pay and benefits. 😉
Knizner in the lineup.

I didn’t understand the organization keeping Baron over Jenner to begin with but both of them figured into being minor league backups so there really didn’t need to be a big discussion or blowup about it. Only it didn’t exactly work out that way. I even commented I thought it was odd how the Cards were handling Jenner coming out of MILB spring training.
FWIW, when I did my annual roster prediction series in March, I had Jenner in “limbo” status at Memphis. Seemed pretty clear to me at that time, there was no fit for him without injuries to others.
In a surprising move, the Cards have re-signed Jesse Jenner and added him to the 25-man roster. He’ll be in the St. Louis lineup tonight as the starting catcher and batting cleanup. Who says we don’t give our prospects a chance.
On a much more serious note…. who thought that Jenner’s name would be invoked so often after he basically walked out.
TCN's #stlcards minors Player of the Day Juan Yepez doubled, homered and plated 4 in @GoPBCardinals' road victory. @Sgf_Cardinals also won, but Memphis' skid continues and Peoria's 7-game winning streak ended. https://t.co/3t2HkaME4T pic.twitter.com/BIlBKZL5sZ
