Goes on IL with knee tendinitis The Cardinals placed Pushard on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right knee patellar tendinitis.

Impact Pushard got knocked around in his major-league debut over the weekend, allowing three runs in an inning of work against the Rays, and now the reliever will miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Rule 5 pick was replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Gordon Graceffo.

Makes Opening Day roster The Cardinals have informed Pushard that he will be on the Opening Day roster, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact A Rule 5 pick, Pushard was slowed by illness early on in camp, but he's since rebounded and holds a 3.12 ERA and 9:2 K:BB over 8.2 frames during Grapefruit League play. The 28-year-old is expected to fill a low-leverage role in the bullpen and will often be asked to cover multiple innings. In order for the Cardinals to maintain his rights, Pushard must remain on the major-league roster or injured list the entire season.

Selected in Rule 5 Draft The Cardinals selected Pushard with the seventh pick in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.

Impact Pushard, a 28-year-old righty reliever from the Marlins organization, logged a 3.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 73:23 K:BB and four saves in 62.1 innings across 49 appearances at Triple-A in 2025. The Cardinals should be able to plug Pushard in as a low-leverage reliever right away, given his experience and stuff, headlined by a mid-90s fastball and a couple solid breaking balls.
