The St. Louis Cardinals announced the promotion of right-hander Cade Winquest from Triple-A Memphis on August 27, 2026. Winquest replaces Peter Strzelecki, who was placed on the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation. Winquest, chosen by the Yankees in the Rule 5 Draft, had a 4.54 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 33 appearances at Triple-A this season. Despite being part of the Yankees' Opening Day roster, he did not make an appearance in New York before being designated for assignment in April. The Cardinals will provide him the opportunity for his MLB debut.
