Bill DeWitt Hopes Canceled London Series Can Be Revived Another Year

Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr., said he had suspected for some time that the Cardinals’ scheduled series with the Chicago Cubs in London on June 13-14 was in jeopardy because of the world-wide coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday, Major League Baseball made it official but DeWitt told the Post-Dispatch that the Cardinals would like to be involved again, if offered the chance.

Cardinals Recall Dominic Leone As 26th Man; Alex Reyes Throws Planned Short Start; Draft Signees Continue

When Dominic Leone was sent down to Triple-A Memphis on May 17, he decided to use his time there to get back to basics.
