The Cards announced the following transaction in advance of tonight’s game with the Orioles:
5/10/22: Optioned SS Paul DeJong to AAA Memphis. Selected the contract of Kramer Robertson from AAA Memphis. 40-man roster at 38.
This move is surely a surprise to Cardinal fans, unless of course you read VEB and have at least lurked in the comments the past couple of days. DeJong has slashed .130/.209/.208 in 86 trips to the plate so far this season. He has struck out about 30% of the time without the power to show for it. Fangraphs gives him a wRC+ of 30 and a negative WAR.
