The St. Louis Cardinals are promoting infielder Thomas Saggese to the major leagues as the 2024 season nears its end, providing a much-needed right-handed bat for their lefty-heavy lineup. Saggese, acquired from the Texas Rangers in a trade last year, has shown strong performance in Triple-A Memphis, batting .253 with 20 home runs across 125 games. His promotion comes amidst a foot injury to Brendan Donovan, potentially giving Saggese more playing time at second base. Despite a disappointing start to the season, Saggese has improved significantly in the latter half, earning him a spot on the major league roster. Cardinals fans will be watching closely as Saggese debuts, hoping he can provide a spark in their late-season push. Meanwhile, Masyn Winn has emerged as the team’s most reliable position player, batting .273 with Gold Glove-caliber defense at shortstop.
