The Cards acquired lefty Tyler Webb on an outright assignment waiver claim from the San Diego Padres on June 29th, 2018. He was originally drafted by the New York Yankees in the 10th round of the 2013 draft as a 22-year old out of the University of South Carolina. He rocketed up the system at first, promoted to AAA in July of 2014, but he seemed to stall there for a while. Left unprotected in the December 2016 Rule 5 draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him in the major league portion, but returned him to the Yankees before the regular season started.
