St. Louis Cardinals News & Updates

The St. Louis Cardinals faced a tough loss today as the Minnesota Twins claimed righty Zak Kent off waivers, further thinning the pitching depth after Pablo López's surgery that will sideline him for the entire 2026 season. Meanwhile, the organization's attention is shifting towards Ivan Herrera, whose potential as a long-term catcher becomes a critical decision this Sunday. As the Cardinals gear up for their Spring Training matchup against the Astros, all eyes will be on Matthew Liberatore, who looks to improve on his previous outing. In the backdrop, utility man Thomas Saggese is making a name for himself, showcasing versatility that could be invaluable for the team. While it’s all about the process in Spring Training, the stakes feel higher with roster decisions looming and the clock ticking.
