Tough news for Dobbins. I hope he can make it back before the end of next season.
I wonder if the Cardinals will give Graceffo a shot at the rotation next year like they did with Leahy this year.
Ixan Henderson set himself back a whole year by resisting surgery.
As did Hjerpe, IMO. Although someone, Brian maybe, pointed out we don’t know what is the player’s decision or the organization’s, but the player cannot be compelled to have surgery.
365 days a year, track all transactions and rosters by position and level from top to bottom across the #stlcards system. It is in the Roster Matrix, along with years of history, all free at The Cardinal Nation. https://t.co/VcpGZ8RfcY pic.twitter.com/SSSN3Znr2D

Brian, the Roster Matrix is showing that Anthony Watts is on the Palm Beach IL, but MiLB is showing him back at FCL. Did they miss a transaction?
As a recall, they moved him to the FCL, then a day or two later, they reversed the move and put him on the PB IL. That was on 8/10. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that they realized that he is injured and they can’t demote an injured player. Players are paid differently by level.
Rincon is back in Memphis. I am not overly familiar with him. How much should we excuse the meltdowns? I am guessing we will see him again this season.
Thanks, Brian. I was just going off the MiLB transaction pages and the player page:
08/23/26 – RHP Anthony Watts assigned to FCL Cardinals from Palm Beach Cardinals.They don’t show him going back on the IL, but I know they have missed transactions before!
Bling – The thing about Rincon is that he has almost always melted down and been terrible for the first month or two at every new level along his entire journey. Then he adapts and gets better and finds a way to remake himself. That’s both why I’ve always liked him and why almost no one else ever considered him a prospect until last season. The meltdowns are epic and drastically affect his season ERA.
For now, I would consider him as just a bullpen filler guy who may not make the team next year. But I wouldn’t put it past him to learn to adapt and overcome and eventually find his way near the back end of a bullpen someday.
LHP Brandon Clarke has been transferred from Peoria (A+) to Springfield (AA).
RHP Nate Dohm has been transferred from Peoria to Springfield and placed on the Development List.

Makes sense on the Clarke promotion so he can get some innings under his belt. I assume the promiis more about that than performance but his performance at A+ wasn’t bad
