Cardinals purchased the contract of RHP Keith Butler from Double-A Springfield.

Butler found a home as Springfield’s closer this season, posting a 2.76 ERA and 59/23 K/BB ratio over 58 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old right-hander sits in the low-90s with his fastball while his slider has become a solid out-pitch.

Cardinals recalled RHP Keith Butler from Double-A Springfield.

He’ll replace Mitchell Boggs on the active roster. Butler, 24, has compiled a stingy 0.66 ERA and 21/2 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings this season in Double-A and will pitch in middle relief.

Cardinals optioned RHP Keith Butler and IF Ryan Jackson to Triple-A Memphis; reassigned LHP John Gast to minor league camp.

All expected moves. Butler is being promoted after spending last season at Double-A and has a career 2.21 ERA over parts of four seasons in the minors. Gast was in camp with the Cardinals as a non-roster invite.

Keith Butler needs Tommy John surgery.

Butler surrendered six earned runs in two innings of relief earlier this season for the Cardinals. The 25-year-old righty will now be sidelined through mid-2015.

Keith Butler will make the Cardinals as a reliever.

Butler was in a competition for a bullpen spot, and while he didn’t necessarily leave no doubts -- the right-hander had an 8.38 ERA in 9 2/3 innings -- he’s won the job. The 25-year-old will serve in a middle relief role for the club.

Cardinals sent RHP Keith Butler outright to Triple-A Memphis.

The 25-year-old had Tommy John surgery this past summer, so he’ll be out of commission until the middle of the 2015 season anyway. The Cards made the move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

Cardinals optioned RHP Keith Butler to Triple-A Memphis.

Butler posted a cool 1.98 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 13 2/3 innings of relief during his six-week stay in the major leagues. He should be brought back up pretty soon.

Cardinals optioned RHP Keith Butler to Triple-A Memphis.

Butler had to eat some innings in the Cardinals’ loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday night and wasn’t going to be available for a couple of days. The 24-year-old right-hander should get another shot later this season.
