With the first game of their spring exhibition season less than three weeks away, the Cardinals recently announced who we can expect to see in big-league camp. In addition to the occupants of the 40-man roster, the team has invited 23 players.
The group of non-roster invitees features 10 pitchers, six infielders, five catchers, and two outfielders.
Pitchers Sean Gilmartin, Preston Guilmet, Ryan Helsley, Jordan Hicks, Dakota Hudson, Hector Mendoza, Daniel Poncedeleon, Arturo Reyes, Jordan Schafer, and Jake Woodford are to report to camp by February 13.
Guilmet signed with the Cardinals in early January after last pitching in the Majors in 2015, and Poncedeleon has not pitched in a game since being struck in the head by a line drive in May and requiring brain surgery.
