Cardinals Farm Report: Pitchers Have Big Week Amid Roster Moves
The St. Louis Cardinals minor league system had its share of highlights throughout the last week from the return of a highly touted pitching prospect to the promotion of a high-performing outfielder.

Here are some the Cardinals' best minor leaguers from last week along with a few players to keep an eye on:
Michael McGreevy, Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A)
Mcgreevy turned in a quality start for the Redbirds this week for his sixth consecutive win, finishing with nine strikeouts - a season high - and just one run allowed in six innings pitched. The team's No. 10 prospect is carrying a record of 6-1 with 54 strikeouts through 10 Triple-A starts, tying him for most wins of any Triple-A pitcher.

Tekoah Roby, Springfield Cardinals (Double-A)
Roby sat down eight batters via strikeout in 5 1/3 innings pitched on Thursday, walking one batter and allowing just four hits to hold the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (KC) scoreless. The Cardinals' No. 11 prospect has been solid on the mound as of late, striking out 14 and allowing just two runs over his last 11 1/3 innings pitched.

Braden Davis, Palm Beach Cardinals (High-A)
Currently unranked in the organization's top 30 prospects, Davis has been on fire over his last three starts for Palm Beach. The 22-year-old southpaw has sat down 16 batters on strikeouts and allowed just three hits over his last 16 innings pitched. He is holding opposing hitters to just .063 in that span.
Players to keep an eye on:
Quinn Mathews, Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A)
Mathews made his return to the Redbirds on Saturday after a month-plus absence from injury. The No. 2 prospect made it just 2 2/3 innings while allowing two runs on five hits and three walks. He has yet to find his footing at the Triple-A level, currently carrying a 6.23 ERA across four starts this year.

Joshua Baez, Springfield Cardinals (Double-A)
Baez was promoted to Double-A after his hot start with Palm Beach. He hit .368 with two doubles and two stolen bases in his first week with Springfield. The 21-year-old outfielder is hitting .323 in 43 minor league games this year.

20 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 20?
With 20 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 20. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and that is less than three weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 20 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 20? Cardinals players to wear No. 20 No. 20 on the Cardinals' roster is running back DeeJay Dallas, entering his second season with the team. He was their kick returner last season and will be again this season. He is also a solid special teamer. There have been no absolutely great players with No. 20. Buccannon was solid for a couple of years. Farr was an elite cornerback before coming to the Cardinals, as he was a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro in the trhee years before playing for the Cardinals.

Clock ticking for Arizona Cardinals with cutdown deadline eight days away
Howard Balzer goes through each position, breaking them down by likelihood of making the roster. All NFL teams must reduce their rosters to 53 players by 1 p.m. Arizona time on August 26. For the Arizona Cardinals, several decisions will be impacted by injured players, including those currently on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Any players placed on reserve/PUP at the cutdown must miss at least the first four games of the season and can't practice while on reserve. With 91 players currently on the roster, there will likely be several reductions made prior to the 26th. That total includes international player, tackle Roy Mbaeteka, who could be the team's 17th player on the practice squad. The waiver period ends earlier than normal after the cut to 53, which is 9 a.m. Arizona time Aug. 27, rather than 1 pm. Practice squad spots can then be filled once players clear waivers. All teams can have six veterans on the practice squad. Those players aren't part of the waiver system as their contracts are immediately terminated. Here is a look at the Cardinals' current roster. It's not a prediction of the 53, but rather the 40 position players considered safe and 17 hoping to survive cutdown day, knowing that there will be roster churn after cutdown day. Many in the 'maybe, maybe not' category will end up on the practice squad. It should never be called the 'final' cut. Wide receivers Tight ends Offensive lineman There are tough choices here with the severity of knee injuries to Conner and Jones unknown. Running backs Quarterbacks If Tune is waived, will the Cardinals sign him to the practice squad. They did last year with Desmond Ridder. Total: 20 rock solid, 7 maybe, maybe not, 3 injured Defensive linemen Jones has been sidelined by a knee injury, while Nichols and Nolen have yet to practice during training camp. Linebackers Defensive backs One of the more intriguing battles is between Crawford and Blount. They both deserve to be on the roster because of their special-teams prowess. Total: 20 rock solid, 10 maybe, maybe not, 4 injured Specialists Overall total: 43 rock solid, 17 maybe, maybe not, 7 injured Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
