Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a curious position, sitting at .500 after a 7-4 victory over the Rockies, but the real story is unfolding off the field. Just days after designating outfielder Nelson Velázquez for assignment, the Astros snatched him up, highlighting the ongoing roster shuffling as the team tries to find its footing. Meanwhile, rising star Michael McGreevy is making waves not just as a pitcher but as a potential Gold Glove candidate, proving that there’s more to this season than meets the eye. As the team prepares to face the Phillies, a critical matchup with playoff implications looms, and the Cardinals must capitalize on Philadelphia's bullpen struggles. With a 5-2 record over the last week, there’s a flicker of hope, but can they sustain this momentum against a competitor for the Wild Card?
