Albert-
Yup, CF seems to be the thing. And I could well imagine him an upgrade there over Barrero.
Thanks.
From the transaction page:
06/26/25 – DSL Cardinals activated RHP Kriscol Peralta from the restricted list.
06/26/25 – RHP Brailyn Paulino assigned to FCL Cardinals from DSL Cardinals.A bunch of roster moves after the off day for the non-rookie league teams:
RHP Jack Ralston has been transferred from Springfield (AA) to Memphis (AAA).
RHPs Zane Mills & Leonardo Taveras have been transferred from Memphis to Springfield.
RHPs Mason Burns & Randel Clemente have been transferred from Palm Beach (A) to Peoria (A+).
RHP Zack Showalter…

for the part that is cut off:
RHP Zack Showalter has been transferred from Peoria to the FCL.INF Christian Martin (A) & OF Jose Cordoba (A) have been activated from the 7-day IL.
C Maikel Hernandez (A) & RHP Conor Steinbaugh (A) have been placed on the 7-day IL.
OF Romtres Cabrera has been transferred from Palm Beach to the FCL.
Ralston still needs to work on his control. At AA he walked 21 in 31 innings. Velocity is still good…. 41Ks in those 31 inn. MEM will be the acid test for him.
Hampson was readded. The totals were fine. I just lost him in his last move. Thank you for the correction.
Hampson reminds of the temporary moves that don’t make the Cardinals better. If you need a right handed batter who can play center, just trade for a decent backup.
I actually think it made perfect sense if you aren’t sure whether you are adding or subtracting yet. Scott is terrible against lefties but plays elite defense all the time. The team didn’t want to downgrade their defense if they replaced Scott so Hampson works as he’s also been an elite defender. And, he’s ok against lefties – much better than Scott anyway. Plus, he’s a legitimate backup at lots of positions so he can replace Barrero as the last guy on the bench. He makes a good late game defensive substitution or pinch runner as well. And while Barrero may have had a higher ceiling long term (maybe), Hampson is more consistent right now. He’s an easy candidate to DFA once the team decides on a direction, but in the meantime, he improves the team a little while we cross that bridge.
When the best/only addition of the season is a .238 career hitter claimed off the waiver wire, there isn’t much to discuss…
SS/2B JJ Wetherholt has been promoted to Triple-A Memphis.
Wetherholt slashed .300/.425/.466 with 22 XBH, 34 RBI & 14 SB in 62 games with Springfield this year, leading the Texas League in OBP and OPS.
He is the first #STLCards minor leaguer to reach Triple-A or higher within a… pic.twitter.com/rguI4HVyI7

Wetherholt promotion’s well was very earned and about when I expected it.
Dutkanych IV was also activated and will get his 1st pro ball taste soon. He hardly pitched in college either so it will be interesting to see how the team handles him. I would only expect 1 or 2 innings in his first few starts assuming he starts even at first.
Date Transaction 07/08/25 Peoria Chiefs placed SS Miguel Villarroel on the 7-day injured list. 07/07/25 3B Johnfrank Salazar assigned to FCL Cardinals from Palm Beach Cardinals. 07/07/25 RHP Andrew Dutkanych IV assigned to FCL Cardinals from Palm Beach Cardinals.After missing his last start earlier this week, Tink Hence has been placed on the 7-day IL at Springfield.
Brian, I got an error message when trying to pull up Evan Mendoza’s player page. Is that still available on the site?
There is a bug with the player pages that stops access from some functions. I am waiting to hear back from the code developer.
For those players still on team rosters, you can access them via the ROSTERS tab in the red menu bar. However, not so for former players like Mendoza.
#STLCards announce that C/DH Ivan Herrera has been activated from 10-day Injured List. OF Lars Nootbaar placed on the 10-day Injured List (left costochondral sprain).

Uh oh. Another injury to the top tier of #stlcards pitching prospects as red-hot RHS Tekoah Roby has been placed on the IL at Triple-A Memphis. Over his most recent four starts totaling 21 IP, the 23 y/o allowed just two ER with 21 Ks. Roby is our no. 7 prospect in the system. pic.twitter.com/JdCOO8xudY

Not shocking really. Hence and Roby seem to be in a contest of who can have the most injury riddled career.
Today's news is good on the pitching front for the #stlcards, with four arms promoted one level. RH Cade Winquest (p) and LH Michael Watson move up to Springfield with LH Braden Davis and RH Brandt Thompson replacing them in Peoria. pic.twitter.com/iHcfGnEUpk

I think this is the perfect time for Church to be added to the 40 man roster, And Henderson moved up to AAA.
Sometimes a shuffling of players is a precursor of other moves. We’ll know at the deadline.
I’ve really had enough of these hopes and dreams that recently have not been working out. Lets work on a better roster for ’26 and ’27. Right now I’d hold onto the younger guys that have some potential to fill roster spots and dump the ones that aren’t working out…. Walker i.e. and hopefully we’ll get back to where we were….. at least on top of the NLC. Who knows a World Championship team might not be too far off despite the serious damage Mozeliak brought to the team….. and that tight-wad DeWitt.
858 you heard correct..
The Cardinals will activate Jordan Walker off the IL today. Thomas Saggese has been optioned to Memphis. Walker was reaching the max amount of days allowed on a rehab assignment (20 days) #STLCards https://t.co/Hbjp355YhP
