Series Preview: St. Louis Cardinals Hosting San Francisco Giants

After winning the weekend series against the Chicago White Sox, the St. Louis Cardinals do not get a break as they begin the week playing host to the San Francisco Giants. While there are no playoff slots realistically at stake, it should make for an interesting 3-game series. I can’t give you a realistic look […]

Báez ties for most Cardinals Minor League HR since 1949 with blast in regular-season finale

In a big year for the Cardinals’ Minor League system, featuring names like Rainiel Rodriguez, Joshua Báez and Leo Bernal, don’t overlook Jesús Báez. The No. 15 St. Louis prospect launched his 39th home run of 2026 on Sunday in Double-A Springfield’s regular-season finale. Though the Cardinals fell to Arkansas 10-7 at Route 66 Stadium, they begin the 2026 postseason on Tuesday against Tulsa. Springfield will seek its second straight Texas League championship behind a roster that features severa...

Giants-Cardinals Series Preview

A lot has changed in a week! The Cardinals were longshots to sneak into the postseason but after getting swept by the San Francisco Giants, they’re effectively eliminated (just 5 games, per MLB.com). The Giants looked certain to be 100-game losers, but after the sweep, they need just 1 more win to avoid triple digit […]

St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Update: Lower Levels

On September 6th, both the Palm Beach Cardinals and the Peoria Chiefs played their last game of their seasons. Palm Beach ended with a 13-5 win, finishing with a 67-65 record. This was not good enough to make the playoffs. The Chiefs ended their season with a 3-2 loss and a 63-68 record. Obviously this […]

A Look At Brent Headrick’s Breakout Campaign

Back in January, MLBTR looked at the Yankees’ bullpen and a list of six internal candidates to round out the middle and low-leverage innings behind top relievers David Bednar and Fernando Cruz. Among the candidates we mentioned were Jake Bird, Cade Winquest, Yerry De los Santos, Elmer Rodriguez, and Chase Hampton. Of that quintet, De los Santos and Rodriguez are the only ones still in the organization. Winquest, originally a Rule 5 pick out of the Cardinals’ system, was returned to St. Louis i...

JJ Wetherholt Hoping To Return Before End Of Season

Prior to landing on the injured list, Cardinals second baseman JJ Wetherholt was having an excellent rookie season and was seen as a leading candidate to win the NL Rookie of the Year award. The latter is still true, but he has unfortunately been out of action since August 30th with right wrist tendinitis, for […]

Why I Never Blame St. Louis Cardinals Losses on a Single Player

This has become an issue lately so I’d like to address why you’ll never see me blame a St. Louis Cardinals loss on a single player. I understand why many want to assign blame, but I have some serious reasons why I don’t believe in it. When you think of some of Major League Baseball’s […]

Cardinals 3, White Sox 1: Major letdown

After last night’s heroics , the White Sox had another major letdown on Sunday, losing 3-1 in St. Louis. Now their lead in the AL Central is down to 0.5 games over Cleveland, and everyone is at a loss for words.  Ahead 1-0 heading into the sixth inning, Sam Antonacci lined a triple down the right-field line to lead it off. Then Kyle Teel worked a walk to set the stage with runners on the corners and White Sox middle of the order coming to bat. Next was Miguel Vargas, who hit a high fly to ri...

Game Thread: White Sox (76-72) at Cardinals (73-76)

Another Sunday, another critical rubber match in what I think we can safely say is the most rear-end-clenching division race we’ve had in nearly 15 years. Perhaps 20, depending on how you feel about Robin Ventura’s debut 2012 that produced a bizarre 85 wins and a missed playoff berth after leading the division most of […]

First Pitch: White Sox vs. Cardinals

Today’s game will be interesting to see how Will Venable manages it. Last night, he had to use his heavy hitters out of the bullpen and won because of Randal Grichuk’s home run. With the Cleveland series looming, the White Sox may have to lean more on the offense to pick up a key series win on the road.  David Sandlin returns to the White Sox from Charlotte and has been consistently getting beyond the fifth inning in his AAA starts. In his last two outings, Sandlin, in 12.2 innings, struck o...

Is Nathan Church the Cardinals’ starting center fielder in 2027?

As Leo Bernal continues to impress and grab a 2027 starting gig, the St. Louis Cardinals are seeing Nathan Church attempt to do the same. While center field did not have the same depth as catcher, Church is looking to take hold of the spot and give the Cardinals some clarity at a position of […]

White Sox Stunned as Top Scouting Executive Resigns Amid Reported Verbal Harassment Allegations

Ahead of their game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago White Sox announced that scouting director Mike Shirley is no longer with the organization. Shirley resigned from the position he had held for the past seven seasons on Saturday. However, the resignation comes amid reports of alleged verbal harassment claims against him. The White […] The post White Sox Stunned as Top Scouting Executive Resigns Amid Reported Verbal Harassment Allegations appeared first on EssentiallySports .

“Ueck” documentary shows how Bob Uecker’s impact survives him

Bob Uecker was a man of many talents, although he would have denied it. Uecker spent six years in the big leagues, even winning the 1964 World Series with the Cardinals. He became a regular on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, starred in Mr. Belvedere, appeared in countless commercials, and played perhaps the most famous fictional baseball […]

HIGHLIGHTS: Randal Grichuk Home Run Propels White Sox Over Cardinals (9.12.26)

Colson Montgomery walked in the fourth inning, scoring Munetaka Murakami to cut the Cardinals’ lead to 3-1. Tristan Peters singled to center in the fifth inning, scoring Miguel Vargas to complete a three-run fifth and tie the game at 4-4. Randal Grichuk hit a two-run, two-out home run (13) to right — 358 feet — in the ninth inning, scoring Brenton Doyle, to give the White Sox a 6-5 lead. Hagen Smith tossed 2.0 scoreless innings with 3 strikeouts to bridge the gap; Jordan Hicks earned the win (...
