The St. Louis Cardinals have officially released reliever Caleb Ferguson after the left-handed pitcher cleared waivers.

During his time with the Cardinals this season, Ferguson struggled, allowing eight earned runs over eight innings pitched. He currently carries a 5.18 ERA across 33 total innings split between the Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds in 2026. The move allows St. Louis to open a roster spot for a fresh arm in Mautz.
