Cardinals' Nick Raquet: Cut from major-league camp
Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned Raquet to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Raquet made three appearances during Grapefruit League play, yielding one run with a 5:1 K:BB across three innings. The Cardinals don't have a ton of left-handed relief depth, so the lefty-throwing Raquet is a good bet to see some action at the big-league level this season.
