Overview

• Andre Granillo earned his first MLB opportunity after a 4-0 record, 1.82 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 29 2/3 relief innings at Triple-A Memphis.
• Michael Siani rejoined the big league roster following a .263 average, five home runs and eight stolen bases in 33 Triple-A games.
• To clear roster spots, the Cardinals optioned right-hander Chris Roycroft back to Memphis and designated outfielder Ryan Vilade for assignment after his 1-for-13 start.
• Jordan Walker began a Minor League rehab assignment to recover from a left wrist injury that delayed his return since late May.
• Outfielder Victor Scott II has slumped to a .125 batting average in June, intensifying the need for defensive depth.
