Let go by Giants The Giants released Rondon on Tuesday.

Impact Rondon was a member of the Giants' 40-man roster just over two weeks ago, but the organization will now move on from him entirely after he was blown up for three runs in one inning during his lone relief appearance at Triple-A Sacramento since being outrighted to the minors. The 24-year-old right-hander shouldn't have much difficulty catching on elsewhere on a minor-league deal.

Optioned after long-relief outing The Cardinals optioned Rondon to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Rondon's demotion comes one day after he was called up from Memphis to provide St. Louis with a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with the Pirates. The 24-year-old right-hander ended up seeing more usage than expected in the Cardinals' 18-4 win, as he was needed in long relief after starter Steven Matz lasted just four pitches before checking out of the contest due to a shoulder injury. Rondon proceeded to strike out four while blanking the Pirates over five innings en route to collecting his first career MLB win. Matz is set to undergo an MRI on Monday and could wind up on the injured list, but at least for the short term, the Cardinals decided that Rondon's spot on the active roster was better used for another player. Even if Matz's shoulder issue results in an IL stint, the Cardinals won't need to replace him in the rotation until May 30, at which point Rondon or Matthew Liberatore could be called up from Triple-A if needed to fill in as St. Louis' fifth starter.

Impact Rondon was called up by the Cardinals prior to Sunday's game, and he was effective as a long reliever after starter Steven Matz (shoulder) was removed after throwing just four pitches. Rondon threw 86 pitches and picked up his first major-league win while holding the Pirates scoreless. Matz will receive an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, but Rondon will be a candidate to fill a rotation role if Matz requires a trip to the injured list.

Gets call to majors The Cardinals recalled Rondon from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rondon will give the Cardinals a fresh arm out of the bullpen capable of covering multiple innings after Drew VerHagen covered 2.1 innings in long relief in Saturday's 5-4 win. Matthew Liberatore, who started Saturday's contest, was optioned to Memphis to clear a spot on the active roster for Rondon.

Optioned to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Rondon to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact The move was to make space for Kwang Hyun Kim (back), whom the Cardinals activated from the injured list Tuesday. Rondon pitched two scoreless relief appearances after being recalled June 5, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see return to the big-league club in the future for valuable bullpen depth.

Recalled by Cardinals Rondon will be recalled by the Cardinals on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Rondon began the year with Triple-A Memphis and posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 23.2 innings across five appearances (four starts). Although the right-hander served mainly as a starter in the minors, he'll likely make his major-league debut out of the bullpen.

He made four relief appearances this spring and allowed five runs (two earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings. The right-hander will likely begin the season with Triple-A Memphis but could make his major-league debut at some point in 2021.
