Cardinals signed RHP Aaron Wilkerson to a minor league contract.

The 36-year-old hurler elected free agency earlier in the week after trigging an opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Reds. Wilkerson had registered a 4.17 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 78/17 K/BB ratio over 95 innings over 18 starts at the Triple-A level. It shouldn’t take him long to earn an opportunity with the Cardinals.
