Nathan Church - Homers in spring debut Church went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Saturday versus the Nationals in his spring training debut.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Church started the game in center field and took southpaw Shinnosuke Ogasawara deep in the second inning. Church could get significant reps in left field for the Cardinals early on in the season while Lars Nootbaar (heels) is out before eventually settling into a fourth outfielder role. The 25-year-old had a .504 OPS in 27 games with the big club in 2025, but slashed .329/.386/.524with 13 home runs and 16 stolen bases at Triple-A Memphis.

Brian Holiday - Throwing bullpen sessions Holiday (elbow) is throwing bullpen sessions in Cardinals camp, Brian Walton of TheCardinalNation.com reports.

Impact A third-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Holiday has yet to make his professional debut following Tommy John surgery last May. The right-hander remains in the rehab phase and is likely looking at a season debut around June 1.

Nolan Gorman - Path remains at third base Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Saturday of the signing of Ramon Urias that, "I don't think it will get in the way, substantively, for the opportunities...

Impact Gorman is in line to be the team's primary third baseman in 2026, and that won't change even after Urias was brought aboard. Urias does offer a right-handed-hitting alternative to the left-handed-swinging Gorman and is also a superior defender, so he'll get reps versus lefties and could handle third base some days while Gorman is used at designated hitter. Gorman is looking to bounce back from a two-year drought at the plate, having slashed just .204/.284/.385 with a 35.7 percent strikeout rate over that stretch.

Zak Kent - Designated for assignment The Cardinals designated Kent for assignment Saturday.

Impact Kent returned to St. Louis from Texas on Monday via waivers, but he will once again lose his 40-man roster spot -- this time to make room for Ramon Urias. Kent broke into the majors for the first time last season and turned in a 4.58 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 17.2 innings with the Guardians.

José Fermín - Will get look in outfield Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Saturday that the signing of Ramon Urias could lead to more playing time in the outfield for Fermin, Brian Murphy of MLB...

Impact Fermin is an infielder by trade, but he's seen a bit of action in the outfield in the majors and at the Triple-A level. The 26-year-old slashed .283/.377/.417 in 70 appearances with the big club and .300/.428/.485 with a 45:25 BB:K at Triple-A Memphis in 2025. Fermin could see more of an opportunity at the big-league level in 2026 as the Cardinals go through a rebuild.

Thomas Saggese - More time in outfield likely Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Saturday that the signing of Ramon Urias could lead to more playing time in the outfield for Saggese, Brian Murphy of ML...

Impact Saggese has never played the outfield in pro ball, but he's been working out there during spring training and could see starts in the outfield against lefties. The 23-year-old also figures to see some starts at designated hitter, or in the field while others are getting a DH day. Saggese has hit only .250/.292/.336 with a 28 percent strikeout rate in his first 100 games in the majors.

Ramón Urías - Inks deal with St. Louis Urias signed a major-league contract with the Cardinals on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The 31-year-old Urias was spotted in the clubhouse ahead of the team's first Grapefruit League game. He will provide the Cardinals with defensive versatility, as he can play all around the infield. Urias is eligible at second and third base, but he is coming off his worst offensive season to date, having slashed just .241/.292/.384 in 112 games between Baltimore and Houston in 2025.

Riley O'Brien - Out for WBC with mild calf strain Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that O'Brien will be shut down for a few days due to a mild right calf strain, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.

Impact It will take a couple weeks for O'Brien to ramp things back up, so it will be at least the beginning of March before he's ready to pitch in spring training games. O'Brien is also now unlikely to pitch for Team South Korea in the World Baseball Classic, though he will remain in the player pool in case there's a chance he can be added later. The injury could also affect O'Brien's chances at opening the season as the Cardinals' closer. He is in the mix for saves with JoJo Romero and perhaps Matt Svanson.
