The Cardinals optioned Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
Gorman's strikeout rate on the season ballooned to 37.6 percent after he went 0-for-4 with three punchouts in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Strikeouts are nothing new for Gorman, but this season, they haven't been accompanied by much production, with the 24-year-old's OPS cratering to .671 after an .805 mark in 2023. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan should see most of his playing time at second base moving forward.
