Cardinals' Rotation Woes Deepen with Matthew Liberatore's Injury

The St. Louis Cardinals' starting rotation has been hit with injuries and trades, leaving them understaffed and scrambling for starters. Rookie Matthew Liberatore and Steven Matz have both landed on the injured list, forcing the team to get creative with their pitching options. Lefty Zack Thompson will replace Liberatore in the rotation, while Drew Rom, who made his major-league debut on Monday, will start on Sunday. The Cardinals are hopeful that Liberatore and Matz will return soon, and Jake Woodford is also making progress in his recovery. Additionally, outfielder Dylan Carlson received an anti-inflammatory shot for his ankle injury, and prospect Tekoah Roby is set to make his Class AA debut.

Orioles shuffle roster, promote Drew Rom and designate Luis Torrens for assignment.

The Baltimore Orioles have placed infielder Ramón Urías on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring strain. Lefty pitching prospect Drew Rom has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take Urías' spot on the roster and is expected to make his MLB debut. The Orioles also optioned lefty reliever Keegan Akin back to Triple-A and designated third catcher Luis Torrens for assignment. Lefty bench batters Ryan O'Hearn and Terrin Vavra were also recalled. The move seems to be about adding a fresh pitcher who's already on the 40-man roster as insurance in case of a short start over the next couple of days.
