Fernandez heads back to the minors through no fault of his own. The 27-year-old has allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings for the Cardinals this season with a 9/2 K/BB ratio. The team needed another starting pitcher and had Hunter Dobbins (knee) come off the injured list for Thursday’s start.

Fernandez made 32 relief appearances for the Cardinals as a rookie last season and will open the year back in the minors as extra organizational depth. Naughton is one of the more prominent names here as he figures to be an option for St. Louis in middle relief at some point during the year. Jordan is a power-hitting corner infield prospect with some thunder in his bat and could wind up getting a look at some point later this season.

The 26-year-old hurler was a key cog in the Cardinals’ bullpen in 2024 but struggled to a cringe-inducing 11.42 ERA, 2.31 WHIP and a 7/5 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings in his first 11 appearances this season. He’ll see if he can work through his issues at the Triple-A level before returning to the Cardinals’ bullpen. Riley O’Brien was recalled in a corresponding move.
