JJ Wetherholt has made the #STLCards' Opening Day roster!

MLB's No. 5 overall prospect is set to make his big league debut less than two years after being selected with the No. 7 overall pick: https://atmlb.com/4sXoniG

FYI: #Cardinals brought MLB and many players bound for Memphis to tonight’s game here in Springfield.

S-Cards don’t open until April 7, so #STLcards didn’t want to Class AA roster to sit for a week, instead of work for week in Fla.

So Memphis team flies charter, opens March 31.

Joshua BΓ‘ez was a breakout star on the #STLCards' farm last year and is one stop away from his big league debut.

The club thinks it has another prospect who could similarly take a leap in 2026.

This and more from camp: https://atmlb.com/4uMQCCv

And that’s a wrap on the Port Charlotte portion of #Rays spring training No. 29.

Three more games - at #BlueJays (Dunedin) Sunday, at #Phillies (Clearwater) Monday, at #Braves (North Port) Tuesday - then off to St. Louis for Thursday opener at #StLCards

Heads up Springfield: New #Cardinals addition Dustin May will start that exhibition game Monday night at Hammons Field.

#stlcards are bringing MLB team and many of the players bound for Triple-A Memphis.

Lars Nootbaar has begun his running progression this weekend as #stlcards prepare to leave Florida.

He will, officially, open the season on the injured list.

Post breakout game jersey swap between Eli Willits and JJ Wetherholt. #stlcards #nationals

Nationals Breakout Prospects are rallying here in the top of the ninth inning, now trail, 9-8.

We're entering Ledbetter Territory.

And he's in right field.
