Summary
The Cardinals are shaking up their roster ahead of the Cubs series, calling up catcher Jimmy Crooks and outfielder Nelson Velazquez to inject fresh energy into a struggling offense. Crooks, who showed promise in Triple-A, hasn’t lived up to expectations, while Velazquez returns to the majors for the first time since 2023—bringing experience and intrigue. With three catchers now active, including Willson Contreras and surprise reliever Ivan Herrera, the team is clearly searching for a spark. As they face rivals and navigate bullpen woes, these moves signal a desperate push for momentum—and fans will be watching closely to see if this gamble pays off.
