The St. Louis Cardinals have activated catcher Willson Contreras from the injured list, the team announced Monday. The 32-year-old three-time All-Star will provide a crucial boost for a St. Louis team currently climbing the standings in the National League Central division.
St. Louis heads into Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves with a 39-37 record. The Cardinals trail the Milwaukee Brewers by five games in the division. If the season ended today, the Cardinals would have an NL Wild Card spot.
2023 was a disaster for the team despite entering the season with high expectations.
