Cardinals Call Up Mautz, DFA Ferguson | MLB News

The Cardinals are making a bold move to fix their shaky bullpen by calling up lefty Brycen Mautz from Triple-A, while sending Caleb Ferguson back to the minors. Mautz, 25, has shown promise in relief roles this season with a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio, and his return could be the boost the team needs. Ferguson, acquired at the trade deadline for just $250K in bonus money, struggled badly in nine appearances, leaving the Cards with little choice but to make room for a more effective arm. With their bullpen’s struggles persisting all season, this shakeup signals a serious effort to turn things around before their big game against Pittsburgh.
