Cardinals Activate Gerald Laird, Call Up P.J. Walters; C.J. McElroy Expects To Sign Soon; Baby Birds; Tidbits...

The Cardinals made a pair of moves on Thursday, one long expected and one necessitated at the last minute.
Fearful of being short on fresh arms in the bullpen tonight, the Cardinals optioned rookie righthander Brandon Dickson to Memphis and called up righthander P.J. Walters from the Triple-A club, GM John Mozeliak said on WXOS (101.1 FM) this afternoon.
With most of their bullpen unavailable Thursday following a taxing 13-inning loss Wednesday night, the Cardinals purchased the contract of right-hander P.J. Walters from Memphis and added him to the big league roster.

P.J. Walters: Fast Rebound
Mark Hamilton: Third Time Down
Gerald Laird: Activated
Bryan Augenstein: DFA'd
