Tuivailala lands in Memphis after Cardinals' option

Published Mar. 22, 2017 5:41 p.m. ET

The St. Louis Cardinals removed Sam Tuivailala from consideration for a season-opening spot in their bullpen when they optioned the right-hander to Triple-A Memphis after beating the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon.

Tuivailala had a 5.40 ERA in six spring games with the Cardinals. He had 12 strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings.

The move reduced the number of players in the team’s major league camp to 42, including 11 non-roster invitees.
