The St. Louis Cardinals expanded their active roster by promoting catcher Leo Bernal, right-handed pitcher Hancel Rincón, and outfielder Victor Scott II. To make room on the roster, catcher Jimmy Crooks was optioned to Triple-A Memphis.
The trade deadline is Monday, August 3rd, and I expect the Cardinals to be active. I’m hoping as sellers because this team is close, but they won’t compete in the post season with how the roster is currently constructed.
The St. Louis Cardinals, Cardinals Care, and Convoy of Hope are uniting to support relief efforts in Venezuela, the home country of Cardinals catcher Pedro Pagés and bullpen catcher Kleininger Teran, following the two destructive earthquakes that severely impacted the country on June 24.
The Cardinals will be back at Busch to open an 8-game homestand before heading into the MLB All-Star Break, starting with a 5-game series with the Brewers, followed by 3 against the Braves.

The Cardinals will open the ’26 season at Busch Stadium against the Rays at 3:15 PM CT. A pregame ceremony that introduces the 2026 Cardinals, honors the club’s Hall of Famers & celebrates the great tradition of Opening Day in St. Louis will highlight the annual return of baseball at Busch on Thursday.
The Cardinals announced that they have signed 29 of their pre-arbitration service time players to contracts for the ’26 season & that SS Masyn Winn has opted to have his contract renewed. The team now has all players on its 40-player MLB roster under contract for the season.
The Cardinals announced 2 sets of roster moves since Saturday’s game, including a few big name prospects that were still in camp. Here are a few thoughts and who is still in camp.
