Matthew Liberatore is a popular candidate to be called up in 2021, but it’s a longshot he debuts with the St. Louis Cardinals this season.
With the recent injury to Jack Flaherty, and the rotation being decimated all season, Matthew Liberatore has seemed like a candidate to make his debut in 2021. But the St. Louis Cardinals have held firm in their stance of not rushing him to the majors and it remains a longshot that he’s called up, Katie Woo of The Athletic says.
