Former Cardinals Watch

[Jocephus]

Carson Kelly has been diagnosed with a fractured wrist.

Kelly was plunked in the wrist by a Walker Buehler fastball. He's been replaced in the contest by Stephen Vogt. A fracture will mean that the backstop is going to miss a considerable amount of time, and it'd be disappointing regardless, but even more so considering how well he had been playing for most of the year. Those who have been relying on Kelly as their starting backstop will now need to look elsewhere.

Gomber left tonight’s game with forearm tightness. Yikes.

Another victim of the crackdown on spider tack!?!?

How do you explain all the bad losses the Cardinals have taken lately? Arozarena, Adolis Garcia, Patrick Wisdom, Zac Gallen, etc.

Ben Clemens
I'm not devastated by the Adolis loss, that's a loss shared by every team in baseball, b/c he passed through waivers a few tiems
Gallen I think was just a miss on figuring out these mid-tier prospects
Patrick Wisdom, I mean, same deal, not really a bad miss to me
For me Pham and Arozarena are the headlining bad ones
Like, I'll take the under on a 100 wRC+ rest of career for Wisdom
And again, every team in baseball had a shot and no one really wanted him
But I do think that they systematically undervalued players like Pham and Arozarena, and that it's no coincidence that I was in on both and the Rays snagged both relatively cheaply

Brebbia is back pitching for the Giants. Good for him.
