This morning the Cardinals announced that they have recalled LHP Genesis Cabrera as the 26th man for the doubleheader scheduled today.
Initially the Cards had planned on adding RHP Daniel Ponce de Leon as the 26th man so he could start game 2 of today’s doubleheader, and made a move designed to effectuate that that I will explain tomorrow when the Cards officially add him to the 25-man roster. But the postponement of the Cardinals’ August 30th game changed matters. Cabrera was initially scheduled to start on August 30th for Memphis at Iowa, but he was scratched and Tommy Parsons was recalled from AA Springfield to make that start.
