Cardinals Activate Ramón Urías, Place Everson Pereira on 10-Day IL

The St. Louis Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves, activating INF Ramón Urías from the 60-day IL while placing OF Everson Pereira on the 10-day IL with a left hand contusion, retroactive to August 22.

Urías's return adds infield depth at a moment when the Cardinals have been navigating a crowded roster ledger. His activation off the 60-day IL marks the end of a meaningful absence.

Pereira's placement, formalized

Pereira's move carries a retroactive date of August 22 — the same day x-rays on his hand showed no structural break, though the hand remained swollen and painful at that point, per earlier reporting. The 10-day IL placement formalizes what had already been signaled as a real concern: beat reporter Derrick Goold had described the news as "not great" the following day.

What remains unconfirmed

No timetable for Pereira's return has been announced. The Cardinals have not indicated whether his status is expected to change once the retroactive 10-day window closes.

The moves arrive against a backdrop of roster turbulence in St. Louis, with Hunter Dobbins also recently landing on the IL and Masyn Winn's availability in question as well. Urías stepping back into the mix offers at least one answer to a lineup that has had several open questions at once.
