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?

Victor Scott is back in the majors with a fresh shot after a strong Triple-A run, rejoining the Cardinals for their West Coast trip against the Dodgers. After a slow start and being sidelined by Nathan Church’s emergence, Scott’s recent surge—including a 17-game hitting streak—has reignited hopes he can finally crack the roster. With Everson Pereira on the IL and Jimmy Crooks now on the outside, Scott’s call-up signals a chance to prove his speed and improved plate discipline can translate to MLB success—and possibly earn a spot in next year’s spring training.

The Cardinals are making a bold move as MLB expands rosters to 28, calling up top prospect Leo Bernal — a versatile 22-year-old catcher/first baseman — while sending struggling veteran Jimmy Crooks back to Triple-A. With the team at 68-70 and five games out of the wild-card race, they’re desperate for a spark. Bernal’s power-hitting (.270, 16 HR, 77 RBI in AAA) could fill the void left by Iván Herrera’s offensive brilliance and Pedro Pagés’ defensive reliability, but poor performance from Crooks and a tough stretch ahead make this call-up feel urgent.

The Cardinals are calling up speedy outfielder Victor Scott II to bolster their lineup amid injury woes, as they chase a playoff push against the Dodgers. Though his bat hasn’t been hot—just .194 with 2 homers in 61 games—his legs are elite: 9 steals this year and 34 last season. Plus, he can play all three outfield spots. With the team at 68-70 and young talent rising, Scott’s speed and defense could be the spark they need to finish strong.

The Cardinals are shaking up their catching corps, calling up 22-year-old prospect Leo Bernal from Triple-A Memphis to stabilize a struggling position—while sending 25-year-old Jimmy Crooks back down, sparking surprise given his recent solid performance and the team’s rebuilding goals. Bernal brings defensive upside, including a knack for throwing out basestealers, despite past errors and passed balls. Veteran Victor Scott is also back up, adding pop and speed. With the team near the bottom in RBIs, homers, and batting average—and defense failing to stop stolen bases—the move comes just before a big series as St. Louis scrambles to find answers at catcher.

Cardinals are calling up fireballer Rincon, who’s been crushing Triple-A hitters with his elite sinker—especially lefties—and even tossed a rare immaculate inning. After years of steady minor league growth and a standout July, he’s primed for his big league debut as the team battles injuries and a slipping playoff race.
