Chris Roycroft Recalled by St. Louis Cardinals on May 2, 2025

The Cardinals have called up a relief pitcher with a rough start to the season. In seven games, he has pitched 5 2/3 innings with an ERA of 7.94 and a WHIP of 2.12. He has not yet recorded a win or save and has struck out four batters while walking six.

Roycroft's return may affect other relievers like Kyle Leahy and JoJo Romero. The Cardinals play the Mets at home on May 2, 2025, at Busch Stadium. This game could provide an opportunity for him to improve his home game stats, where he has an ERA of 18.0 and a WHIP of 3.0.
