The Cardinals currently have 39 major league roster players and 18 non-roster invitees in camp. **— STL —** --- [⌊Tekoah Roby⌉⌊Tekoah Roby⌉[ No real surprises here, as most of these guys were long shots to stick around in camp. Roby ([#14 Prospect](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/02/2026-top-50-cardinals-prospects-11-15/)) probably had the best shot at sticking around, but he’s struggled with health in the past and needs to prove he’s healthy. Cijntje ([#4 Prospect](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/02/2026-top-50-cardinals-prospects-1-5/)), Hansen ([#33 Prospect](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/02/2026-top-50-cardinals-prospects-26-50/)), Henderson ([#17 Prospect](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/02/2026-top-50-cardinals-prospects-16-20/)), and Rincon ([#28 Prospect](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/02/2026-top-50-cardinals-prospects-26-50/)) all ranked on the [Nyrdcast Top 50 Prospects](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/02/2026-top-cardinals-prospects-the-tracker/), but none are quite ready yet. Hansen is probably the closest of the bunch. Thompson is a little disappointing; the former first round pick looked like a potential options 2-3 seasons ago, but injuries and ineffectiveness have derailed his career. He could be up during the season if he proves himself at Memphis. ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Cardinals%20Trim%2011%20Players%20From%20Spring%20Roster&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fcardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-trim-11-players-from-spring-roster/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
