Sent to minors The Cardinals optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
Impact St. Louis is off Thursday and will likely wait until shortly before Friday's game against the Phillies to announce a replacement for Roycroft on the 26-man active roster. After winning a bullpen role out of spring training, Roycroft made seven relief appearances and collected two holds through the first two weeks of the season while allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and six walks over 5.2 innings.

Competing for bullpen spot Roycroft is one of four competitors eyeing one of the final two spots in the Cardinals' Opening Day bullpen, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Nick Anderson, Kyle Leahy and Riley O'Brien are the others in the mix. Roycroft has put his best foot forward to claim one of the jobs, tossing six scoreless frames with a 5:1 K:BB during Grapefruit League play. The 6-foot-8 right-hander excelled at limiting hard contact last season with a 33.7 percent hard-hit rate and two percent barrel rate, but he'll need to find a weapon against left-handed batters after they had a .955 OPS against him in 2024. If Roycroft makes the Opening Day roster, it's likely to be as a middle reliever initially.

Impact Roycroft struck out a pair while retiring all five batters he faced in Tuesday's loss to the Reds, but he'll continue to bounce back-and-forth between St. Louis and Memphis as he's done often this season. Wednesday's starter, Lance Lynn, was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Back in big leagues The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Since being optioned to Triple-A at the end of July, Roycroft has turned in a 2.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 19:6 K:BB through 17.1 innings. He'll now rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen to provide the big squad with a fresh arm, replacing Kyle Leahy.

Takes loss in day game Roycroft (1-2) allowed an unearned run on one walk over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.
Impact Roycroft has yielded five runs (four earned) over his last four appearances. He gave up a walk-off sacrifice fly to get stuck with a 3-2 loss in the 10th inning of Saturday's day game. The right-hander continues to see mostly low-leverage work for the Cardinals, pitching to a 3.52 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 23 innings.
JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Up as 27th man The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact He will serve as the team's 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta. Roycroft has collected a 3.07 ERA and 13:8 K:BB over 14.2 relief innings with the Cardinals this season. He'll likely be sent back down to Triple-A following the doubleheader.

Impact Because the Orioles and Cardinals resumed Tuesday's suspended game earlier Wednesday, both teams were allotted a 27th man for the contest that was initially scheduled for Wednesday. Roycroft will provide the Cardinals with a fresh arm out of the bullpen for the series finale but will likely be returned to Memphis immediately following the game.
