Cardinals News
The St. Louis Cardinals are feeling the chill of a disappointing season, now languishing at 68-69 after a tough 2-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The injury bug continues to haunt them, with JJ Wetherholt hitting the 10-day injured list due to right wrist tendinitis, effectively sidelining their Rookie of the Year candidate and intensifying the team's struggles. His absence is even more glaring as the offense has been lackluster, displaying a -23 run differential over the last week. On a brighter note, the Cardinals are promoting catching prospect Leo Bernal, hoping he can inject some life into a lineup that has more cold bats than hot ones. With the postseason slipping further from reach, every game against the Pirates becomes a crucial test of resolve.
