The Cardinals' spring roster has 106 players, one over the roster limit of 105. With 12 more student-athletes (11 freshmen and a graduate transfer) set to join the team over the summer, Ball State finds itself in a difficult position where some players will have to leave to create necessary space.

Christian Davis, RB
Running back Christian Davis became the first Ball State football player to announce his intentions to enter the transfer portal during the spring window. He announced his decision on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday.
Davis joined Ball State as a freshman in 2023 but sustained a knee injury in fall camp, which forced him to take a redshirt for his first year. Last season, he rushed for 11 yards on 11 carries and had one catch for three yards while playing behind the likes of Braedon Sloan, Vaughn Pemberton, and TJ Horton.

With the additions of Qua Ashley and Elijah Jackson from the winter portal, as well as the returns of Horton and Jalen Alexander, Davis was seemingly the odd man out in the running back room. He enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining.
Ball State running back Christian Davis runs the ball during the Ball State football Spring Showcase at Scheumann Stadium on Saturday, April 12, 2025.

Cardinals Reveal Concerning Brendan Donovan News
Cardinals Reveal Concerning Brendan Donovan News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan left Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to discomfort in his left toe, the club announced. Advertisement Manager Oli Marmol later clarified that Donovan has been dealing with irritation in the joint of his left big toe for some time, and the pain finally forced him out of the game. 'He couldn't even get off his backside during that last at-bat,' Marmol said. 'It was hurting him pretty bad, so we took him out.' Donovan, who has easily been the Cardinals' most consistent hitter this season, went 0-for-3 before exiting the game. He was also struck by a pitch in the fourth inning, however it doesn't seem to be related to the injury. According to Cardinals beat writer John Denton, Donovan said the pain flared up suddenly Tuesday night. 'I was running around in the outfield, and it just started bugging me,' Donovan explained. 'Then it kind of just got progressively worse, and then it got real grumpy at me.' Advertisement X-rays came back negative, but Donovan noted he could hardly push off his back foot during his final at bat. 'It's on my left foot, so that's the foot I rotate off of,' he said. 'That's kind of what led to me coming out. I'll sleep on it, reevaluate tomorrow, and go from there.' The 28-year-old is in the midst of a career season, hitting .310 with four home runs and 26 RBIs. He ranks tied for third in the National League in hits, second in doubles, and fourth in batting average. The club hopes to learn more about the severity of the injury by Wednesday, but if Donovan is sidelined for an extended period, it would be a significant blow to a Cardinals team that has exceeded expectations in large part thanks to his performance.
