ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Drew Rom - Part of package for Flaherty Rom was traded from the Orioles to the Cardinals on Tuesday along with Cesar Prieto in exchange for Jack Flaherty, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Rom, a 6-foot-2 southpaw, is back at Triple-A after starting seven games there to close 2022. He has a 5.34 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 100 strikeouts in 86 innings through 19 appearances. Rom lacks high-end velocity, and opposing batters have hit .290 against him this year.

Cesar Prieto - Dealt to Cardinals for Flaherty Prieto was traded from the Orioles to the Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for Jack Flaherty, freelance reporter Francys Romero reports.

Impact This makes sense from Baltimore's perspective, as Prieto looks like he has a big-league future, but he is sufficiently blocked in the Orioles organization. A 24-year-old Cuban infielder, Prieto is hitting .317/.365/.471 with two home runs, two steals and an 8.7 percent strikeout rate in 27 games at Triple-A.

Brendan Donovan - Needs season-ending surgery Donovan will undergo season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair the flexor strain in his right arm, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Donovan hasn't been able to play the field since late June because of the lingering flexor strain, and the out-of-contention Cardinals will go ahead and address the issue now rather than waiting until the offseason. The 26-year-old super-utilityman is expected to be ready for the beginning of spring training in 2024. He finishes the 2023 campaign with a .281/.362/.419 batting line across 371 plate appearances.

Dylan Carlson - In lineup for STL Carlson is starting in center field and batting ninth Tuesday versus the Twins.

Impact Carlson has been drawing trade interest, most notably from the Yankees, but it looks like he will remain with the Cardinals through Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET deadline. The 24-year-old former top prospect has posted a disappointing .230/.328/.345 batting line with five homers and three steals through 69 games this season.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brendan Donovan - Not in lineup Tuesday Donovan is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.

Impact Donovan still can't throw due to a flexor strain and Jordan Walker is taking a turn as the Cardinals' designated hitter Tuesday against Minnesota. Taylor Motter will play second base with Nolan Gorman (back) also still sidelined.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tommy Edman - Returns at shortstop Tuesday Edman (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Tuesday versus the Twins.

Impact It will be Edman's first major-league game since he landed on the injured list in early July because of right wrist inflammation. He looks poised to serve as the Cardinals' primary shortstop after Paul DeJong was traded Tuesday to the Blue Jays, though top prospect Masyn Winn is said to be knocking on the door for a late-season promotion.

Alec Burleson - Back on bench Tuesday Burleson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Burleson has now hit the bench for three of the Cardinals' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, and unless St. Louis elects to trade one of its everyday position players leading up to Tuesday's deadline, he'll have to settle for a part-time role. The 24-year-old has shown excellent bat-to-ball skills (10.8 percent strikeout rate in 231 plate appearances), but the power he displayed at Triple-A Memphis in 2022 hasn't quite carried over to the big leagues.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nolan Gorman - Remains out Tuesday Gorman (back) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Impact Gorman was scratched from Sunday's series finale against the Cubs due to back tightness and isn't ready to return even after Monday's scheduled team off day. Taylor Motter will start at second base for the Cardinals on Tuesday as Jordan Walker takes a turn as the designated hitter.

Masyn Winn - Likely late-season call-up The Cardinals may wait to call up Winn until mid-to-late August in order to preserve his rookie status heading into the offseason, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch repo...

Impact Winn may be ready for a promotion after batting .357/.418/.690 with nine home runs, three steals and a 12.8 percent strikeout rate over his last 29 games with Triple-A Memphis. However, by keeping Winn in the minors for another three weeks or so, they can make sure he is still eligible for Rookie of the Year in 2024 in an attempt to net a draft pick like Seattle did with Julio Rodriguez in 2022. Tommy Edman will likely be the primary shortstop for now with Paul DeJong getting dealt to Toronto.

Tommy Edman - Activated from injured list St. Louis activated Edman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edman is a potential trade candidate for the Cardinals with the 6 p.m. ET deadline fast approaching, but for now he is back on their active major-league roster following a three-week absence to heal a bout of right wrist inflammation. The versatile 28-year-old has slashed .237/.303/.391 with seven homers and 14 steals in 84 games this season when healthy.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Zack Thompson - Recalled from Memphis St. Louis recalled Thompson from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Thompson was just sent down last week, so he must be replacing an injured player. The 25-year-old left-hander carries a disappointing 5.06 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB in 16 innings of relief this season at the major-league level.
