The Cards just now announced the following transaction:
4/28/21: Optioned OF Scott Hurst to the ATS. Recalled RHP Johan Oviedo from the ATS.
Before April 23rd, the Cards already had four days off in the schedule. Friday the 23rd started a stretch of 17 straight games without a day off until May 10th. Up until today, there were only two occasions in which a Cardinal starter did not got five days of rest—Adam Wainwright’s April 8th start in the home opener against the Brewers, and Carlos Martinez’s April 21st start against the Nationals.
