LEAGUE DEBUT IN 2021, MAKING 7 APPEARANCES/5 STARTS FOR HALOS_**

**ST. LOUIS, MO., March 21, 2022 **– The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that
they have claimed left-handed pitcher **_Patrick [“Packy” Naughton](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/naughpa01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)_**
off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels. Naughton, 25, joins the team’s 40-player
Major League roster, which now stands at a full 40.

Naughton, who was drafted by Cincinnati in 2017 (9^(th) round) out of Virginia Tech
University, made his Major League debut with Angels last season, making seven appearances,
including five starts.

The 6-2, 195-pound Naughton went 2-2 with a 4.90 ERA in 14 games (10 starts) between
Rocket City (AA) and Salt Lake (AAA) last season were he fanned 53 in 56.2 innings
pitched

Naughton will wear uniform No. 93.

Total depth move. The team had an open spot on the 40-man roster and a lack of lefty
options (only [Genesis Cabrera](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabrege01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral))
for the bullpen. Naughton isn’t going to blow anyone away at the MLB level and will
probably be the first guy removed from the 40-man roster if the team were to make
a bigger signing.

Naughton has been added to both the [Salary Matrix](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2021/10/2021-22-cardinal-off-season-salary-matrix/)
and the [Transaction Tracker](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2021/11/the-2021-22-cardinals-transaction-page/)
for the Cardinals.
