Back in majors The Cardinals recalled Saggese from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
Impact The 23-year-old was up with the Cardinals for most of April while Masyn Winn was sidelined and was productive with a .341/.364/.512 slash line and one homer in 14 games. Saggese was boxed out for playing time, however, which resulted in him returning to Memphis, where he has an .836 OPS in 185 plate appearances this year. Ivan Herrera (hamstring) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move Friday, and Saggese could fill a large number of those plate appearances since the Cardinals likely still want him to get regular playing time.

Optioned to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Saggese to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Impact Saggese has slashed .341/.364/.512 in 14 games this season at the major-league level, but his playing time has dipped since Masyn Winn returned from the injured list last week. Jose Barrero is grabbing Saggese's roster spot while the latter returns to Memphis where he can play every day.
APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to return to Triple-A The Cardinals are expected to option Saggese to Triple-A Memphis prior to Monday's game against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Impact In a corresponding move, St. Louis intends to call up Jose Barrero, who will provide the bench with more versatility due to his ability to play center field in addition to multiple infield spots. Saggese had gone 0-for-6 with a pair of walks while manning second base in both of the Cardinals' last two games, but playing time had been elusive before that for the 23-year-old, who hadn't started in any of the preceding four contests. He'll get a chance to play on an everyday basis in Memphis and should rank near the top of the list for a call-up the next time the Cardinals require an extra infielder.

Set for regular work at shortstop Saggese is slated to receive regular playing time at shortstop while Masyn Winn (back) is sidelined, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Winn was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back spasms and Saggese drew the first start at shortstop in that day's matinee against the Phillies. Indications are that Winn will not require an extended absence, but while he is out Saggese should receive the bulk of the reps at shortstop, with super utlity player Brendan Donovan also in the mix.
