Overview

• Thomas Saggese was sent to Triple-A Memphis to secure consistent playing time after slashing .341/.364/.512 in 14 MLB games.
• Jose Barrero, who impressed during spring training and early Triple-A play, was recalled to provide depth and versatility to the Cardinals' bench.
• Saggese's initial MLB call-up was tied to injuries to Nolan Gorman and Masyn Winn, who have since returned to the lineup.
• The Cardinals prioritized Barrero's ability to cover middle infield and outfield positions in their decision to recall him.
• Saggese remains a top prospect and could be quickly recalled if another injury creates an opening on the major-league roster.
