After seeing the Memphis Redbirds roster I was curious which 5 will be in the rotation. I understand that Mautz, Mathews, Fitts are among the 5, but who are the other 2? Rajcic I thought had been moved totte bullpen. I’m assuming Bedell isn’t one of the 5 as well. Does that mean Zimmerman and Shuster are being seriously considered. And did Hanson impress?
So given that Hansen likely will be in Memphis rotation when he returns from 7 day IL stint these are the among the Springfield starters:
Doyle
Lin
Rincon
Thompson
Davis??Or Franklin?
I also liked Fajardos stuff in the breakout game. I see him at 19 starting in Peoria.
I doubt Doyle is at Springfield and expect him and Frankin to be at Peoria. Cjintje will have a spot as well.
For AAA, I guess they want Shuster and Zimmerman as depth, but I don’t love them getting a rotation spot over some of the internal options.
Shuster and Zimmermann are placeholders who wouldn’t be starting if everyone was healthy. I don’t see them blocking anyone yet. Rajcic and Bedell had their chances.

Dobbins will land somewhere at some point.
Check out my Wednesday Camp Report for his April plan. He is ready to roll.
Cardinals Minor League Spring Training Camp – March 25, 2026
I should be able to confirm later today, but right now it looks like all six are starting this turn through.
To the Zimmermann detractors: In throwing six shutout innings last night, he extended his streak of three or fewer runs allowed to six consecutive starts and 12 of 15 outings in 2026. That stability is valuable even if he isn’t a prospect.
Memphis rotation this week:
Tues Dobbins
Wed Zimmermann
Thurs Hansen
Fri Mathews
Sat Molina
Sun Mautz
