The Cardinals Are In The Playoff Hunt, But Stayed Quiet At The Trade Deadline

The Cardinals were relatively quiet at the trade deadline, despite the fact that they are in the thick of a division race. They are 2.5 games behind the Cubs and were in first place as recently as August 1st. They are currently only half a game back of the last Wild Card slot, though the Mets’ inexplicable recent hot streak has them projected as the more likely winners of that second spot.

Michael Wacha To Rejoin Cardinals' Rotation Monday In Los Angeles; No Speeches Needed; Rick Ankiel: 'No More Surgery'; Kolten Wong On A Roll; Extra Bases

Now that Zack Greinke or Robbie Ray or Mike Minor or Noah Syndergaard or any other outside source is not going to be in the Cardinals’ rotation for the last two months of the season, manager Mike Shildt is proceeding with business as usual. After president of baseball operations John Mozeliak had said the other day that Michael Wacha, 6-4 with a 5.15 earned run average in 19 games (14 starts), would get a third chance to be in the rotation, Shildt said that day will come on Monday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

Mike Leake Builds Quality Case For Curious Contenders

Mike Leake continued to pitch like he was in a pennant chase on Wednesday, or at least as if he’d like to be in one. If his start against the Rangers was his last in a Mariners uniform, he’s certainly made a brief but lasting impression over the past week.

If the Rangers were hoping to glean anything from this weekend's series with the Astros regarding whether they'll be buyers or sellers or neither at the Trade Deadline, they'll have to wait another day. Their 4-3 loss to the Astros on Friday night to open another round of the intrastate Lone Star Series at Minute Maid Park didn't move the needle a lot either way.

Mike Minor Will Headline A Playoff Push

Just a few seasons ago, you wouldn’t have been a fool to think that Mike Minor’s major league career was over. After struggling with injuries with the Braves, he left for a free agent deal with the Royals, where he was subsequently lit up in his return to the mound while rehabbing in the minors. Follow that up with another injury that officially sidelined him for the 2016 season and things were not looking pretty. Minor had to fight the following Spring Training to make the Royals roster as a reliever. From that point, it’s all been up for him.
