From the transaction pages:
04/13/25 – Memphis Redbirds placed LHP Quinn Mathews on the 7-day injured list.I expected this given his poor command at the beginning of the year. He also just didn’t look comfortable on the mound. Hopefully it is something minor that some rest can address.
LHP Cooper Hjerpe (AA) has been transferred from the 7-day IL to the Full Season IL.
He underwent a UCL procedure (Tommy John surgery) and is expected to return mid-season 2026.

OF Nathan Church (AA) & RHP Joseph King (A+) will begin rehab…

A lot of transactions today to start the minors week. Many injuries unfortunately too. Velez is actually an interesting minors FA pickup. Good numbers for the Twins last year.
This intrigues me. I think Svanson has the potential to be a significant contributor at some point.
The #STLCards have optioned RHP Roddery Munoz to Triple-A Memphis and recalled RHP Matt Svanson, who was already on the 40-man roster.

I like that move. Svanson has setup potential. He is already 26 and likely ready at least for some innings here and there
Not knowing the actual numbers, I have a very strong feeling that the Cards are last or very near last of all 30 teams in the number of transactions made. The last few days is like a month’s worth of moves. Maybe two months.
I love the addition of Svanson. He can turn out to be a top-tier reliever.
RHP Ryan Shreve has been transferred from Springfield (AA) to Memphis (AAA).

Brian – Should the 40 man be 39 + 2 with Hence and Thompson on the 60-day? Or does it not work like that with Hence because he has no MLB service time?
Hence is not on the major league 60 day IL, but instead the minors 60 say IL. Important distinction because if he were on the MLB one he would be accruing service time. There is a limit to the domestic minors players an org can have (165) and placing a minors player on the 60 day IL removes them from that count and allows the org to sign other players. The Cards have been making some minors FA signings recently to shore up depth in the minors.
Right. But since he’s on the 40-man roster, does moving him to the 60-day IL give us another roster spot? It does in some cases. But maybe not with Hence since he has never reached the big leagues. But if McGreevey suddenly got hurt tomorrow and was put on the 60-day IL, I’m certain we would get to replace him on the 40-man roster.
No I should have clarified further. The minors 60 day IL does not allow you to remove the player from the 40 man roster. So Hence is in an interesting case where he is on the 40 man still, but not counting against the minors domestic player limit and isn’t on the big league IL.
The #STLCards have recalled RHP Riley O’Brien and have optioned RHP Ryan Fernandez to Triple-A Memphis, per the team.

Can confirm Jose Barrero will be joining the #STLCards in Cincinnati, per @francysromeroFR
Thomas Saggese will be optioned to Memphis. Didn’t appear there would be a ton of room for playing time after this week.

I see Helman, Munoz, and Roycroft as options. I would most likely pick Helman as I think being injured himself right now he provides the least current value and I am unsure if he gets claimed even.
I would say Helman or Siani could get DFA’d, unless there is an injury we are not aware of that could put someone on the 60-day IL. The last I heard Roycroft had corrected his delivery problem and was pitching well, so doubt it would be him.
Helman or Loutos or Fermin. At some point they can’t keep hoarding pitchers on the 40-man and Loutos probably isn’t the guy. That said, one of Helman or Fermin is completely redundant. I think it’s probably Helman that is dumped.
