Cards may have short September callup list

But expect a few others. Relievers Dean Kiekhefer and Miguel Socolovich, both of whom have already been up this season, are likely to be added so that manager Mike Matheny has greater bullpen flexibility.

The club intends to carry a third catcher, as well, though it has some choices there. If the Cardinals are confident that Brayan Pena is healthy, he could fill that slot. If not, they haven't ruled out promoting Carson Kelly. Though not yet on the 40-man roster, Kelly will have to be added this fall in order to be protected from the Rule 5 Draft.
