**_CARDINALS TRIM SPRING ROSTER TO 37;_** **_BOSIOKOVIC, SÁNCHEZ & YEPEZ SENT TO
MINORS_**

**JUPITER, Fla., March 31, 2022 – **The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s
game that they have re-assigned right-handed pitcher **_[Jacob Bosiokovic](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=bosiok000jac&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)_**
to the minors and optioned catcher **_[Ali Sanchez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sanchal04.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)_**
and first baseman **_[Juan Yepez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=yepez-000jua&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)_**
to the Memphis (AAA) roster.

Today’s moves reduces the Cardinals Spring Training camp roster to 37 players.

If you would have said a month ago that Yepez would start the season in the minors,
people would have called you crazy. Since the team added [Corey Dickerson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dickeco01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
and [Albert Pujols](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pujolal01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral),
he ended up being squeezed out of a roster spot, even with the expanded rosters 
to start the season (pitching will probably get them). If Pujols struggles, Yepez
will be the first guy up.

Sanchez and Bosiokovic are not surprising; catcher is locked up with [Yadier Molina](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/molinya01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
and [Andrew Knizner](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kniznan01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral)
while there are a lot of guys ahead in the pitching depth charts.
