  • Spoke with a Cardinals official recently about him. He has progressed through the rehab, and the Cardinals have a decision coming in the near future with the right-hander. They need to know what his level of readiness will be for 2023 before deciding whether to tendering him a contract. He does get an entire year of service time for this year spent on the injured list, so he'll be arbitration eligible for the last time and headed toward free agency a year from now. The Cardinals can circumvent that for the benefit of both by working out a deal that is for 2023, and if healthy gives him/the team an option for 2024.
