Rangers land Jordan Montgomery in trade with Cardinals Montgomery, 30, owns a 3.42 ERA across 21 starts this season.
Thomas Saggese - Sent to St. Louis The Cardinals acquired Saggese, right-hander Tekoah Roby and left-hander John King from the Rangers on Sunday in exchange for left-hander Jordan Montgomery and right-hander Chris S...
Impact Of the three minor-league players heading back to St. Louis, Saggese projects to have the most long-term real-life and fantasy value. The 21-year-old has dabbled at shortstop, second base and third base during his time at Double-A Frisco this season, but he'll probably be a better fit defensively at one of the latter two positions once he reaches the big leagues. Saggese lacks any standout tools but has been a well above league-average hitter at each stop in the minors since being selected by Texas in the fifth round of the 2020 First-Year Player Draft. Over 417 plate appearances with Frisco this season, Saggese slashed .320/.385/.522 with an 8.5 percent walk rate, a 22.5 percent strikeout rate, 15 home runs and eight steals (in 10 attempts).

The left-hander has given up 12 earned runs over 18.2 frames in the majors this season and posted a 3.32 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB over 21.2 innings at the Triple-A level.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman misses Sunday's game against Cubs with lower back tightness
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman was scratched from Sunday’s game with lower back tightnessJULY 30, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nolan Gorman - Scratched with back tightness Gorman was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cubs due to back tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Gorman was penciled in to start at second base and bat third Sunday, but the back issue will instead force him to the bench. The 23-year-old will now have two days to rest up since the Cardinals have a team day off Monday before potentially missing more time. Taylor Motter replaced him in the lineup at second base.

Willson Contreras - Takes seat Sunday Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Contreras has a .947 OPS in 11 games since the All-Star break and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale versus Chicago. Andrew Knizner will step in behind the plate to catch for Steven Matz.

Brendan Donovan - Not starting Sunday Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact Donovan will continue to see regular rest days while limited to DH duties due to flexor strain, and he'll sit Sunday for the second time in the past three games. Paul Goldschimdt will rest his legs at designated hitter while Alec Burleson starts at first base.

JULY 30, 2023 • MLB.COM
Adam Wainwright - Falls to Cubs on Saturday Wainwright (3-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three batters over six innings against the Cubs.
Impact Wainwright gave up a two-run homer in each of the third and fourth frames, which accounted for all of the scoring against him and was enough to saddle him with the loss. The right-hander at least managed to give St. Louis six frames, logging his longest outing since June 17. Wainwright has lost four of five starts since that performance against the Mets, and he's seen his season ERA balloon to 7.18. That's on pace to be easily the worst over a season in the 41-year-old's big-league career, as is his unintimidating 4.9 K/9.

Nolan Gorman - Collects sixth steal Gorman went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs.
Impact Gorman tried to spark the Cardinals' offense on his own in the sixth inning with a double before stealing third base, but he was left stranded. The second baseman started July cold, but he's gone 19-for-65 (.292) with six home runs, 16 RBI, six doubles and two steals over his last 18 games. For the season, the slugger has a .243/.323/.498 slash line with 22 homers, 16 doubles, six steals, 65 RBI and 45 runs scored over 94 contests.
