Tejeda was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday. Tejeda is just 23 years old and was once a moderately interesting prospect, but he's struggled to a .220/.245/.385 line in 94 MLB plate appearances, striking out 40 times to go with just three walks. He hit .194/.266/.368 with a 41.5 percent strikeout rate in 79 games in the upper minors last season.

The Cardinals reassigned Tejeda to minor-league camp Wednesday. Tejeda joined the Cardinals on a minor-league deal earlier in the offseason after he appeared in 28 MLB games with the Rangers over the past two years while compiling a .220/.245/.385 slash line to go with three home runs and five stolen bases across 94 plate appearances. The 23-year-old was vying for a utility infield role on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster, but he'll instead head to Triple-A Memphis to begin the 2022 campaign.

Tejeda signed a minor-league contract with the Cardinals on Thursday. Tejeda became a free agent in early November after being outrighted by the Rangers, but he'll now land with another organization. The 23-year-old appeared in five major-league games last year and will serve as a non-roster invitee this spring.

Tejeda was outrighted off the Rangers' 40-man roster and became a minor-league free agent Friday, independent baseball journalist Jeff Wilson reports. Tejeda appeared in five big-league games in April but spent the rest of the year in the minors. He's still just 23 years old and was once a fairly interesting prospect, which could earn him some attention on the open market, but his .194/.266/.368 slash line and 41.5 percent strikeout rate in the minors this season may scare away potential suitors.

Tejeda was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Saturday. Tejeda joined the major-league roster while Brock Holt (hamstring) was sidelined, but he'll return to the team's alternate training site after Holt was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Saturday. Tejeda appeared in five games for the Rangers and went 1-for-16 with a run, one stolen base and 10 strikeouts. Holt should now serve on the strong side of a platoon at third base while Charlie Culberson starts against southpaws.
