Cardinals tapering Kyle Leahy's workload to protect his future
St. Louis is intentionally managing Leahy's innings now, suggesting he will be used less frequently in the short term.
The Cardinals are proactively reducing reliever Kyle Leahy's innings load as a long-term arm-health strategy. The organization framed the decision as protecting his future rather than responding to an injury. This means Leahy is likely to appear less frequently in games in the near term. Beat reporter Derrick Goold confirmed the team's rationale directly from Cardinals personnel.
