Jurrangelo Cijntje can make the radar gun pop with the best of them. But the flamethrowing switch-pitcher had a little something extra in the tank during his start Saturday for Triple-A Memphis.

Every player wants to end the season on a high note. No matter how impressive the year has been, it feels that much better to go out with a bang. Jacob Odle’s 2026 swan song certainly fits the bill. The Cardinals’ No. 21 prospect compiled a career-high 12 strikeouts across

LOS ANGELES -- When Cardinals catching prospect Leo Bernal was removed from Sunday’s Triple-A Memphis Redbirds game in Charlotte, he was playing in front of 4,252 fans. Just two days later, the 22-year-old Panama City native helped lead the Cardinals to a 13-8 victory over the Dodgers in front of

Trevor Condon saw spin out of the pitcher’s hand. Seconds later, he flipped his bat, took a short hop and watched his first pro homer soar deep out of Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. As the 13th overall pick in the 2026 Draft jogged the bases, all the Cardinals' No. 6

ST. LOUIS -- Though Cardinals No. 8 prospect Quinn Mathews had gotten his feet wet at the big league level with a few starts over the past several weeks, Friday night at Busch Stadium was his first chance to pitch in front of the home crowd.

The Cardinals feature one of MLB’s top farm systems, reaching No. 4 in MLB Pipeline’s latest rankings. They bolstered that depth at the Trade Deadline, including with the addition of right-handed pitcher Daniel Eagen, part of the Lars Nootbaar trade with the Diamondbacks. Eagen has been quite strong since joining

To say life has been good recently for the Cardinals’ top two prospects would be something of an understatement. Rainiel Rodriguez and Liam Doyle emphatically showed just why they are two of the most promising players in the Minors on Tuesday night. Rodriguez delivered his second consecutive multihomer game to

Beyond an ahead-of-schedule performance from the Cardinals at the big league level in 2026, St. Louis has been seeing flashes of the future with big power in the system. And one of the most notable ones happened Sunday at Double-A Springfield. Rainiel Rodriguez (STL No. 1) and Jesús Báez (STL

PHILADELPHIA – With an overworked bullpen, a rotation that saw two starters land on the injured list in two days in this series, and a team clinging to its postseason hopes, the St. Louis Cardinals needed a solid and deep outing from left-hander Quinn Mathews on Saturday.

Dating back to 2006, just six players have hit 15 or home runs at Double-A before turning 20 years old. Rainiel Rodriguez became No. 6 on Thursday night, joining a list that includes Giancarlo Stanton, Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Chourio, Samuel Basallo and Leo De Vries (MLB’s No. 2 prospect).

Liam Doyle has long sought challenges against the best. It’s why after a decorated high school career in New Hampshire at Pinkerton Academy, he made stops at three separate powerhouse collegiate programs (Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee) before the Cardinals selected him fifth overall in the 2025 Draft. His first

Trevor Condon made his professional debut on Tuesday, and he showed off pretty much everything that made the Cardinals select him with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 Draft. Condon, now rated as St. Louis’ No. 6 prospect, finished the game 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and

Entering late July, the Cardinals’ farm system didn’t need to get much better. Rainiel Rodriguez was looking comfortable at Double-A at just 19 years old. Liam Doyle and Tanner Franklin flashed electric stuff on the mound. Joshua Báez was exhibiting the megawatt power that he put on full display in

It’s not every day you see a giant, powerful right-handed bat roaming the outfield of a Major League stadium. And to see two on the same team? That’s the dream. It’s now the reality the St. Louis Cardinals are living in, and if this weekend was any indication, Jordan Walker

CHICAGO -- Joshua Báez made history Saturday wearing someone else’s shoes. Those shoes are now on their way to Cooperstown as a way to commemorate the most historic debut in MLB history. Less than 24 hours after becoming the first player in MLB history to homer three times in his

Cardinals rookie Joshua Báez made Major League history in his debut on Saturday against St. Louis' arch rival Cubs, becoming the first player ever to homer in each of his first three big league plate appearances. Here's a closer look at the 23-year-old slugger: FAST FACTS MLB Pipeline rankings: Cardinals

CHICAGO -- Joshua Báez spent five years working toward his first Major League at-bat. He needed one pitch to make it unforgettable. Then, somehow, he kept going. Báez homered on the first pitch he saw in the Majors, homered again in his second at-bat and then stepped to the plate

Joshua Báez had an MLB debut for the ages on Saturday. He hit three home runs with his family in the stands at Wrigley Field, starting by going 449 feet on the first pitch he saw. It truly doesn’t get any better than that. Here’s a look at seven stats

CHICAGO -- The Cardinals spent much of Friday afternoon talking about opportunity. Opportunity at third base. Opportunity for young players to show what they can do in meaningful games. Opportunity, with a little more than six weeks remaining, for somebody to grab hold of a role.

The Cardinals already boast one homegrown power-hitting corner outfielder in Jordan Walker. Joshua Báez has set them up to have two as early as this weekend. The Cardinals plan to call up their No. 3 prospect on Saturday for his Major League debut against the Cubs, manager Oliver Marmol said

Jurrangelo Cijntje came out firing, but the switch-pitcher fell short of completing one of the most dominant starts of his professional career. The Cardinals' No. 12 prospect attacked exclusively from the right side Thursday, striking out a career-high 11 batters through 6 1/3 innings for Triple-A Memphis. The Redbirds dropped
