Cardinals DFA Caleb Ferguson After Post-Trade Struggles
St. Louis designates the veteran lefty for assignment, opening a roster spot for Triple-A call-up Brycen Mautz.
The Cardinals officially designated left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson for assignment on Tuesday. Ferguson was acquired from Cincinnati at the trade deadline but posted an 8.64 ERA with 8 walks in just 8.1 innings across 9 appearances in St. Louis. Triple-A Memphis southpaw Brycen Mautz was called up to fill the vacancy on the 26-man roster. Ferguson can be claimed on waivers for roughly $750K remaining salary, or may clear waivers and elect free agency given his MLB service time.
