The St. Louis Cardinals are making bold moves as September begins, calling up outfielder Victor Scott the second and catcher Leo Bernal while adding righty Hancel Rincon — all from Triple-A Memphis — in a bid to spark a late-season push. With the team third in the division and still chasing a wild card spot, these roster changes aim to inject fresh energy as they head into a crucial road series against the Dodgers. Scott, already with 61 big league games, brings speed but needs to find his bat; meanwhile, Jimmy Crooks returns to Memphis after hitting five homers but struggling at the plate. The Cardinals are counting on Bernal and Rincon to help turn things around before the season’s final stretch.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie JJ Wetherholt is sidelined for ten days with right-wrist tendinitis, forcing a call-up of Cesar Prieto — a blow to playoff hopes and fantasy owners alike. Once a breakout candidate with a .713 OPS and 17 homers through 586 PA, Wetherholt’s August slump (2-for-25, .595 OPS) signaled trouble before the injury. The team’s cautious move prioritizes long-term health over immediate production. With his return uncertain, the Cardinals’ September push just got tougher — but if Wetherholt heals right, he could still cap off a stellar rookie season.

Cardinals shake up their roster for September with a major splash: 22-year-old catcher Leo Bernal, slashing 16 homers and driving in 77 runs in the minors, makes his MLB debut. With defensive woes at catcher and a need for stability, Bernal’s arrival could be game-changing. Also returning is outfielder Victor Scott II, known for his defense despite past struggles at the plate, and pitcher Hancel Rincon, who dominated Triple-A with high strikeout numbers. To make room, veteran catcher Jimmy Crooks heads down to Triple-A. With rosters expanding to 28, this is a bold move to energize the Cardinals’ final stretch — can these newcomers turn the tide?
