Blaze Jordan - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Traded to STL in Matz deal The Red Sox traded Jordan to the Cardinals on Saturday in exchange for Steven Matz, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Since being promoted to Triple-A in early June, Jordan has slashed .289/.333/.476 with six home runs. 24 RBI and 29 runs scored through 177 plate appearances. The 22-year-old corner infielder's performance could put him in the running for a promotion to MLB once rosters expand in September, though he would need to be placed on the 40-man roster first.

Sent to St. Louis in Matz deal The Cardinals acquired Jordan from the Red Sox on Wednesday exchange for left-hander Steven Matz, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Since being promoted to Triple-A Worcester in early June, Jordan has slashed .289/.333/.476 with six home runs. 24 RBI and 29 runs scored through 177 plate appearances. The 22-year-old corner infielder's performance could put him in the running for a promotion once major-league rosters expand in September, though he would need to be placed on the Cardinals' 40-man roster before earning his first taste of the big leagues.

Moving up to Triple-A Jordan was promoted to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Jordan, who plays both corner infield positions, slashed .320/.415/.513 with six home runs, 11 doubles, three steals, 37 RBI and 30 runs scored over 44 games (176 plate appearances) for Double-A Portland. He was once a highly regarded prospect but underwhelming offensive numbers in 2024 took some of the luster off Jordan. His work at Portland this season could put him back on the radar, and his ability to play first base (28 starts in 2025) could come in handy later this season for Boston, which is operating without Triston Casas (knee) for the rest of the season.

Returns to action Monday Jordan (arm) played two innings at first base in Monday's 12-3 loss to the Orioles in Grapefruit League play.

Impact Though he didn't make any plate appearances, Jordan's usage off the bench Monday implies that he's healthy after he was hit by a pitch and then lifted for a pinch runner in his last Grapefruit League game back on March 8. Jordan is likely to open the 2025 season at either Double-A Portland or Triple-A Worcester.

Exits after hit by pitch Jordan left Saturday's spring training game against Minnesota after getting hit by a pitch in the 8th inning in the arm, according to the Minnesota Twins radio broadcast.

Impact His status after the game wasn't immediately clear. Jordan's career took a step back last season as the former top prospect hit just .261/.305/.388 with seven home runs in 89 games at Double-A Portland. He'll need a bounceback season to keep on track for the majors, assuming this isn't a major injury.

Suffers finger injury Jordan left Saturday's game for Double-A Portland with a finger injury on his left hand, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Jordan's hand came into contact with the opposing catcher's glove while getting tagged out at the plate and he did not return. The severity of the injury has yet to be determined, so Jordan should be considered day-to-day for now. The 21-year-old is hitting .283 with two home runs and a 10 percent strikeout rate in 25 games.

Promoted to Double-A Jordan was promoted to Double-A Portland this week, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.

Impact Jordan put up great numbers in a return trip to High-A Greenville, and he was particularly dominant of late. The 20-year-old first baseman hit .362/.434/.586 with seven home runs, a 10.9 percent walk rate and a 12.6 percent strikeout rate in his last 39 games for the Drive. Jordan's stark splits (.892 OPS vs. RHP, 1.088 OPS vs. LHP) will be worth tracking against Double-A pitching, but he's one of the youngest hitters at the level, so some initial growing pains can be expected.

Cuts strikeouts at High-A Jordan hit .330 with two home runs, 10 doubles and a 10.4 percent strikeout rate in May for High-A Greenville.

Impact As a potential designated hitter in the majors, Jordan's bat will need to carry the day, and he has not faced much resistance this season in a return to the Sally League. He has cut his strikeout rate from 25.5 percent in 25 games at High-A last year to 16.1 percent this season, with that mark steadily trending down. As a righty hitter, Jordan will need to do enough damage against right-handed pitching to avoid the short side of a platoon, and thus far that remains an open question. He has a .795 OPS and 17.4 percent strikeout rate against righties and a 1.151 OPS and 9.7 percent strikeout rate against lefties this season.
