In a single roster move the St. Louis Cardinals not only improved their team and did something that fans have been clamoring for. That move was designating Jhonny Peralta for assignment. After a stint on the DL with an elbow strain, Kolten Wong will return to the team. In what may be more exciting to fans, Paul Dejong will keep his roster spot.
The move is one that fans had been hoping to see for a while. Peralta had not been performing at the plate and his defense which started out suspect had become a detriment to the team.
