Packy Naughton

STL Relief Pitcher #70

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cardinals LHP Packy Naughton will have elbow surgery next week.

It’s a tough break for those of us in fantasy leagues where everyone’s name must sound like a 1920s street gangster. Naughton had been attempting a comeback after forearm surgery — obviously that’s in some question at this point as the 30-year-old had a 3.86 ERA in three games with Triple-A Memphis.
Alec Burleson

STL 1st Baseman #41

Alec Burleson is not in St. Louis’ starting lineup against the Athletics on Thursday.

José Fermín will draw the start at first base against LHP Jacob Lopez. Burleson is off to a fine start hitting .274/.344/.451 with six homers and two stolen bases in his first 41 games. He’s been a solid deep-league first baseman to this point.
Matthew Liberatore

STL Starting Pitcher #32

Matthew Liberatore surrendered four runs and nine hits in five innings Wednesday in a loss to the A’s.

Liberatore’s velocity was a little better than usual tonight and he had great success in amassing a 58 percent CSW on the 19 curveballs he threw, but thanks to Nick Kurtz’s grand slam in the fifth, the results just weren’t there in the end. The loss leaves him 2-2 with a 4.40 ERA. That’s not much different than his 4.21 ERA from last year, but his strikeout and walk rates are both significantly worse now than they were then. If he’s just going to be a fifth starter, it might be worth dropping his changeup and cutter and taking another look at him as a reliever at some point.
Victor Scott II

STL Center Fielder #11

Victor Scott II went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before being lifted for a pinch-hitter Wednesday against the Athletics.

If Lars Nootbaar can pull off a successful comeback later this month, Scott is probably going to find himself in Triple-A for a spell. He’s hitting just .178/.243/.228, dropping his career line to .202/.277/.283. He’s even disappointed a bit on the basepaths, getting caught on three of his nine steal attempts. Last year, he was 34-for-38.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

JJ Wetherholt went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in a 6-4 win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Wetherholt drew a walk and scored a run in the first inning, then later took Joel Kuhnel deep for a two-run blast in the sixth to extend the Cardinals’ lead. He added a base hit in the eighth to reach for a third time. The 23-year-old second baseman is hitting .242/.356/.427 with eight homers, 32 runs scored, 22 RBI, and five steals across 188 plate appearances.
Riley O'Brien

STL Relief Pitcher #61

Riley O’Brien tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record the save against the Athletics on Tuesday.

O’Brien was summoned in the ninth inning with a two-run lead to close out the game against the A’s. He walked the leadoff man, then induced a ground ball double play before recording the final out for his 12th save of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander has been one of the best closers in baseball, recording a 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 23/2 K/BB ratio across 20 innings.
Andre Pallante

STL Starting Pitcher #53

Andre Pallante allowed three runs with four strikeouts over five innings in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Pallante gave the Cardinals five solid innings in Sacramento, with all three runs against him coming in the second inning on four straight hits, including a two-run double by Shea Langeliers. Pallante would face the minimum over his final three innings. He struck out four. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 4.46 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and a 33/19 K/BB ratio across 42 1/3 innings into a start against the Royals in St. Louis on Sunday.
Lars Nootbaar

STL Left Fielder #21

Lars Nootbaar (heels) will begin a minor league rehab assignment later this week.

Nootbaar is going to need a couple weeks of game action before he’s ready to make his season debut. The 28-year-old corner outfielder underwent surgery on both heels last October and has been brought along slowly with his ramp-up process this spring.
Rainiel Rodríguez

STL Catcher

Cardinals promoted C/1B prospect Rainiel Rodríguez to Double-A Springfield.

Rodríguez is the 27th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, and the top catching prospect in baseball. The 19-year-old hit .311/.430/.519 in 28 games at High-A with four home runs, 21 RBI, and four steals. Rodríguez still has some work to do when it comes to framing and handling a pitching staff, but he has had success controlling the running game in the minors, so there is a chance that he can stick behind the plate.
Kyle Leahy

STL Starting Pitcher #62

Kyle Leahy blanked the Padres for five innings in a no-decision Sunday.

Leahy allowed two hits, walked four and struck out five in the 95-pitch outing. The two longest flies against him would have been homers in 12 and six of 30 ballparks, respectively, but they were both outs today in Petco. Leahy has allowed just one run in his two starts this month, lowering his ERA from 5.52 to 4.31. However, he needs to become more efficient; he’s recorded a total of two outs in the sixth inning in his eight starts. He’ll face the Royals next weekend.
