Cardinals News
The St. Louis Cardinals are riding a wave of mixed fortunes as they look to rebound from a lackluster 4-8 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers and a 2-5 record over their last seven games. In brighter news, rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt has secured his future with an impressive eight-year, $112.5 million extension, signaling the team's commitment to its young core. Adding to the excitement, Iván Herrera has been named an All-Star after Shohei Ohtani's withdrawal, joining the likes of Jordan Walker and Riley O'Brien in representing the Cardinals. Despite a rain delay cutting short Kyle Leahy's promising start against the Braves, the team's depth will be tested as they face a challenging series ahead. With the offense struggling to find its rhythm and pitching still shaky, it’s crucial the Cardinals find a way to turn things around before the season slips further away.
