#### **_RELIEVER ANTHONY MISIEWICZ DESIGNATED FOR ASSIGNMENT_**

**ST. LOUIS, MO., March 29, 2023 **– The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that
they have selected the contract of rookie outfielder **_[Jordan Walker](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=walker000jor&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br)_**
and added him to the team’s 40-player Major League roster.

To make room for Walker, the team announced that left-handed pitcher **_[Anthony Misiewicz](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/misiean01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br)_**
has been designated for assignment.

The Cardinals 40-player Major League roster currently stands at 40.

This isn’t really surprising. Misiewicz was competing against [Zack Thompson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thompza02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br)
and [Packy Naughton](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/naughpa01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br),
[who made the active roster](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2023/03/cardinals-announce-anticipated-2023-opening-day-roster/),
and [Genesis Cabrera](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabrege01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br),
[Andrew Suarez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/suarean01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br),
and [JoJo Romero](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/romerjo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-29_br)
for lefty reliever time in Memphis. It’s very possible that Cabrera gets stretched
out as a starter at Triple A. It’s also possible that they still trade a lefty, 
Misiewicz included, which had been a rumor earlier in the week.

Let the Walker Era begin…
