The Cardinals selected Winquest's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
Winquest made the Yankees' Opening Day roster as a Rule 5 pick, but he was returned to the Cardinals before making an appearance. The 26-year-old right-hander got off to a slow start this season and missed some time with an undisclosed injury, but he's been locked in since the calendar flipped to August, tossing 10.1 scoreless innings with just three hits allowed and a 17:5 K:BB. Winquest will be making his major-league debut when he enters a game.

Cardinals' Cade Winquest: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Winquest (undisclosed) has made two scoreless appearances at Triple-A Memphis since being activated from the 7-day injured list.
Winquest missed nearly a month of action with an undisclosed injury but has turned in two spotless innings with a pair of strikeouts since returning to action. The 26-year-old was a Rule 5 pick of the Yankees before being returned to the Cardinals organization in mid-April. Winquest has a chance to debut out of the St. Louis bullpen this season, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot means others are ahead of him in the pecking order.
