JORDAN MONTGOMERY TAKES THE BUMP FOR THE CARDINALS AGAINST MIAMI TONIGHT.
PRE-GAME COMES YOUR WAY AT 5:50 ON KJEL……..
THE CARDINALS ARE PARTING WAYS WITH ONE OF THEIR ONCE-PROMISING RELIEVERS. THE TEAM DESIGNATED LEFT-HANDER GENESIS CABRERA FOR ASSIGNMENT YESTERDAY. CABRERA SHINED FOR ST. LOUIS DURING THE SHORTENED 2020 SEASON, BUT HIS NUMBERS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE IN EACH SEASON SINCE. IN 32 GAMES THIS YEAR, THE 26-YEAR-OLD IS 1-AND-1 WITH A 5.06 ERA. OUTFIELDER TYLER O’NEILL IS EXPECTED TO TAKE CABRERA’S SPOT ON THE 40-MAN ROSTER ONCE HE IS ACTIVATED FROM THE 60-DAY INJURED LIST.
