St. Louis Cardinals Headlines

Iván Herrera and Ramón Urías are on the mend but thankfully not facing long-term injuries, a bit of good news as the Cardinals look to piece together a competitive roster for 2026.

In brighter news, Nolan Gorman appears to have found his swing again, shaking off a dismal 2025 season, which saw him struggle at the plate with a .205 average and 136 strikeouts. Meanwhile, Colton Ledbetter is making waves in Spring Training with two game-winning hits already, showcasing the potential for fresh talent on the roster. As the questions about a six-man rotation loom large, the Cardinals are finding their footing at the plate and on the mound, but the journey ahead remains fraught with uncertainty.
