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

Weather in Springfield, Mo., can be awfully hot in the middle of the summer, but the Cardinals brought in two players who can supply plenty of breeze for their Double-A affiliate at the Trade Deadline. When St. Louis dealt longtime outfielder Lars Nootbaar to the D-backs on Monday, they acquired

Rainiel Rodriguez just keeps mashing. The Cardinals' No. 1 prospect, and MLB's No. 12 overall per MLB Pipeline, clubbed a homer for the second straight game on Friday to give him five dingers in his past seven games at Double-A Springfield. The homer was one of the only highlights for

For three of the last four Trade Deadlines, the Cardinals have been in the “sellers” seat, trading away assets on their Major League roster to acquire prospects as they build toward the future. A position the organization prided itself on avoiding for decades has now become the new norm. But

In the days after Monday's Trade Deadline, there’s always a flurry of new faces in new places across the Minors. Josiah Ragsdale fit that to a tee, having arrived in the Cardinals organization as part of the return package for pitchers Dustin May and JoJo Romero, who stayed inside the

TORONTO -- As a young club, the Cardinals have seen plenty of Major League debuts lately. Saturday at Rogers Centre, however, felt a little different when Quinn Mathews took the mound. The lanky left-hander, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day, carried himself with confidence as

It’s been years since the Cardinals had a starting pitching prospect arrive with as much anticipation as left-hander Quinn Mathews, who will make his Major League debut on Saturday against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Ever since the Cards’ No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline tore through the Minor

ST. LOUIS -- Amid a dreary stretch for the Cardinals that has seen the club’s postseason aspirations take a considerable hit comes the latest beacon of hope for a bright future. The Cardinals will promote left-hander Quinn Mathews, their No. 7 prospect, from Triple-A Memphis to start on Saturday in

The Cardinals couldn’t ask for much more from a key signing from their international pool a year ago. Sebastian Dos Santos has rolled with the challenges of adjusting to pro ball as well as some expedited promotions. Over just 92 games in affiliated ball, the club's No. 12 prospect has

Quinn Mathews has been knocking on the door of a callup to the big leagues, and another superb start for Triple-A Memphis on Friday will only help his case. The Cardinals’ No. 7 prospect posted a season-high 10 strikeouts while tying his season-long outing of seven innings, holding Durham to
