The reliever roulette wheel continues to roll, as the Cardinals announced that they have designated LHP Adalberto Mejia for assignment. Just claimed from the Los Angeles Angels on outright assignment waivers on July 30th and activated to the 25-man roster the next day, Mejia’s tour of duty with the Cardinals lasted only 2 games.
Mejia came on in relief of Dakota Hudson with 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th in the August 3rd game against the Oakland Athletics, and allowed 4 hits, with 1 BB, 2 SO and 1 ER in 1.2 IP. With 1 day of rest, he relieved Michael Wacha last night in a similar situation with 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th.
