Cardinals Purchase The Contract Of Alex Reyes From Triple-A Memphis, Placed Michael Wacha On The 15-Day Disabled List, & Transferred Brayan Pena From 15-Day To 60-Day Disabled List, Tyler Lyons Has Stress Fracture Behind Right Knee

The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight's game that they have purchased the contract of rookie right-handed pitcher Alex Reyes from Memphis (AAA) and placed right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha (right shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day disabled list. To make room for Reyes on the team's 40-man Major League roster, the team transferred catcher Brayan Peña (left knee inflammation) from the 15-day D.L. to the 60-day D.L.

The wait for top prospect Alex Reyes is over, as the Cardinals announced on Tuesday that they will purchase his contract while placing starter Michael Wacha on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. Catcher Brayan Pena has been transferred to the 60-day DL to clear space on the 40-man roster.

Righthander Trevor Rosenthal’s availability for the rest of the 2016 season because of shoulder and perhaps other arm problems. The immediate future for Michael Wacha is more clear and it’s not particularly good as he was placed on the Cardinals’ disabled list Tuesday with shoulder inflammation, similar to what he experienced two seasons ago when he missed two months

The future arrived in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Alex Reyes has never wanted to be a top prospect. That label is nice, but ultimately uninteresting to him. Prospects don’t get to play in Busch Stadium. They don’t get audiences of more than 40,000 screaming their name. That’s reserved for a select list of 25 guys at a time.

As this afternoon unfolded, those who already had a ticket for tonight’s St. Louis Cardinals game had a little more to be excited about as the team announced the addition of Alex Reyes to the 25-man roster.

The hardest thing to pull off in baseball is a stealth rebuild. It feels like the St. Louis Cardinals are trying their best to pull it off, frantically moving the furniture backstage while the show goes on up front.
