Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Optioned to Triple-A
The Cardinals optioned Baez to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Shortly after homering in his third straight Grapefruit League game, Baez is cut from big-league camp. The 22-year-old had a breakout 2025 season, hitting .287/.384/.500 with 20 homers and 54 stolen bases between High-A Peoria and Double-A Springfield. If Baez is able to carry over that success into a hot start in 2026, he could push for a major-league debut sooner rather than later.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Homers in third straight game
Baez popped a two-run home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.
Baez's seventh-inning blast off of Nestor German traveled 416 feet and was measured at 109.4 mph off the bat. It's the third long ball in as many games for Baez, who was added to the Cardinals' 40-man roster this offseason after a breakout 2025 campaign that saw him slash .287/.384/.500 with 20 homers and 54 stolen bases between High-A Peoria and Double-A Springfield. Baez drew his first start in left field this spring Monday, and there is playing time available at that position with Lars Nootbaar (heels) expected to begin the season on the injured list. It's unlikely St. Louis would consider the 22-year-old for its Opening Day roster, but Baez could debut at some point this summer if he continues his upward trajectory.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Cranks long home run Friday
Baez swatted a two-run home run and drew a walk in Grapefruit League action Friday versus the Orioles.
Baez didn't start the contest, but he entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and took Albert Suarez deep with a 436-foot home run that came off the bat at 110.8 mph. He remained in the game and drew a walk in his other plate appearance. Baez is not going to make the Cardinals' Opening Day roster, but he was added to the 40-man roster this winter after a breakout season and could force his way into the 2026 picture for St. Louis at some point during the summer.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Selected to 40-man
The Cardinals selected Baez's contract from Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Baez adjusted well to Double-A ball upon receiving his promotion in late May, slashing .271/.371/.509 with 16 homers, 55 RBI, 46 runs scored and 33 stolen bases across 79 games at Springfield. His breakout season has earned him a spot on St. Louis' 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft in December, and he may be a candidate to make his big-league debut in 2026 if he continues to stuff the stat sheet in the minors.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Finishes in style at Double-A
Baez homered in each of his final three regular-season games at Double-A Springfield, bringing his season total between High-A Peoria and Springfield to 20.
It's been a true breakout season for Baez, who slashed .287/.384/.500 with 20 homers and 54 stolen bases over 117 contests. Contact issues had been the 22-year-old's biggest problem coming in 2025, and he managed to cut his strikeout rate from 34.4 percent to 20.6 percent year-over-year. Baez's arrow is firmly pointing up in dynasty leagues.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Having breakout season
Baez went 3-for-3 with two home runs Thursday and is slashing .311/.397/.689 with six long balls in 18 games since being promoted to Double-A Springfield.
Baez's physical tools compelled the Cardinals to select him in the second round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, but it took until 2025 for him to finally show signs of a breakout. The 21-year-old has slashed .316/.402/.544 with 10 home runs and 25 stolen bases between High-A Peoria and Springfield this season, he's struck out at a 23.7 percent rate, which is a massive improvement on the 35.5 percent rate he had last year. He'll have to show he can continue improving his contact rate as he faces better pitching, but his raw power and speed give Baez intriguing fantasy potential.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Back in action at Single-A
Baez (wrist) was reinstated from Single-A Palm Beach's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch and an RBI in his return to the lineup.
Baez suited up for Palm Beach for the first time since debuting for the affiliate May 17 after spending the last three months recovering from and rehabbing a sprained left wrist. Prior to being activated, Baez slashed .237/.326/.395 over a 12-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: In midst of rehab assignment
Baez (wrist) began a rehab assignment Friday with the Cardinals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate and has gone 2-for-7 with a double, walk, four stolen bases and an RBI across his first two games.
The speedy outfielder made his season debut May 17 at Single-A Palm Beach, only to land on the injured list a day later with a sprained left wrist. After a two-plus-month absence, the 19-year-old looks to be healthy again, though he may stick around in the FCL for a few more games before reporting back to Palm Beach.

Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Placed on injured list
Baez was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with a left wrist sprain Wednesday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.
Baez made his debut at Single-A Palm Beach on Tuesday but was removed from the game in the third inning. After going 0-for-1 with a strikeout Tuesday, he'll be forced to miss at least a week due to his wrist injury.
