Optioned to Triple-A Woodford was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Impact Woodford struggled during the Cardinals' weekend series against the Pirates and allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one in two innings across two relief appearances. The right-hander will be stretched out with the Triple-A club and could be an option to rejoin the big-league club as a starter at some point, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Left-hander Brandon Waddell was recalled as part of a corresponding move.

Takes loss Friday Woodford (1-1) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Pirates on Friday, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk while failing to record an out in the fifth inning.

The right-hander has been particularly hittable of late, giving up an earned run in five of his last six appearances and seeing his ERA balloon from 3.18 to 4.24 during that span.
