#STLCards president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said prospect Tekoah Roby is "getting closer and closer" to getting into a game as he continues rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Roby may face hitters in the coming days.
Roby last pitched in a game on July 10, 2025.

Hey Brian, I just looked at the lineup for the DSL team, and noticed how loaded they seem to be! One thing that stood out is that Luna hasn’t played since July 11. Is he hurt or are they protecting him for the future? Any way to find out what is going on with him?
I think Peirera is out of options, at least according to Fangraphs. I guess we will find out today if he ends up in Memphis!
Is Jurrangelo Cijntje and Tai Peete eligible for this years Rule 5? If so, protecting them would be wise!
I love the dynamics of this years Rule 5 with not knowing if it even transpires! Brian’s reminder that 40-man roster players will not be able to participate in any team practice or training can really make a difference in many of these young players lives. I imagine that the staff will have some serious planning meetings before the deadline to submit the 40-man roster, considering the uncertainty of the off season this year. Fun stuff to consider!
If I remember correctly, teams still had to lock players into the 40 man because the deadline for that (mid November) was before teams got locked out. Since the Rule 5 draft takes place after Dec. 1, (and the lockout was already in place) no draft actually happened. Because of the shortened timeline after an agreement was reached and the season would start, owners agreed that no Rule 5 would take place that season.
Glad to see the two moved up from FCL to Palm Beach! They deserved it!
INF Miguel Hernández & INF/OF Cristofer Lebrón have been transferred from the FCL to Palm Beach (A).
OF Matthew Miura (A) has been placed on the 7-day IL.
OF Facundo Velásquez (FCL) has been given his unconditional release.

As far as Dobbins returning before 15 days, 85booyah was correct:
Marmol was keen to remind me just about an hour ago that the 15-day option period can be waived after a trade, so Dobbins could immediately return in the event of such.

From the transaction page:
07/28/26 – RHP Tegan Kuhns assigned to FCL Cardinals.
07/28/26 – RHP Cal Randall assigned to FCL Cardinals.
07/28/26 – SS Rocco Maniscalco assigned to FCL Cardinals.Brian, I assume this is just a procedural move to put them on a team since the FCL has already finished their schedule. Can we expect some of the draftees will be moved up to Palm Beach as soon as next week? I would love to see them get into some action!
Wow! This was quick!
We have selected the contract of RHP Peter Strzelecki. He will wear number 58.
RHP Hunter Dobbins has been optioned to Memphis (AAA).

I wonder if the Cardinals would be interested in a pitcher that grew up across the river in my hometown of Highland? Geoff Hartlieb was DFA’d by the Athletics today.
Stay hydrated, Rat! That storm coming down from Chicago is hitting Indianapolis right now! The rain is knocking down the heat, but humidity is still up there. My MLB.TV was blacked out for the Cincy series, so I wonder if I will be blacked out for Chicago as well? We will see!
Yeah, I think Urias got hit in the elbow. I was watching that game and he was really hurting right after he got hit. He stayed in to run, but was out the next inning.
Personally, I don’t expect more than 2 or 3 trades this week, unless you count the Cards DFA’ing a player and trading them for cash. I expect them to sell Romero and maybe May, but not much else, unless teams get crazy desperate on the last day. Noot would be the one that would cause a team to overpay at the deadline and blow my theory. I guess Stanek could be had as well for a low level prospect or two.

This one didn’t show up in the official Player News from the Cardinals but was on the transaction page. Can you confirm, Brian? Yordy Herrera is still listed on the FCL page from MiLB, but Facundo is not. Could the Player Development group have listed the wrong name when publishing the latest drops?
