The Cardinals traded right-handed pitcher Scott Blewett to the Athletics on July 27 for cash considerations. Blewett, a former second-round draft pick, had a brief stay with St. Louis, making only one appearance after being called up due to an injury in the bullpen. The Athletics, sitting in fourth place in the AL West, acquire Blewett as they look to bolster their pitching depth. The Cardinals, near.500 in the NL Central, clear a spot on their 40-man roster ahead of the trade deadline, utilizing Blewett as a stopgap pitcher before parting ways.
