The St. Louis Cardinals had a quietly busy day on Tuesday.
The deadline came and went for teams to add prospects to the 40-man roster to protect them from being selected in the Rule 5 Draft. On Tuesday, the Cardinals announced that No. 4 prospect Leonardo Bernal, No. 11 prospect Joshua Baez, No. 13 prospect Cooper Hjerpe, and No. 21 prospect Brycen Mautz are being added to the 40-man roster. On top of this, the Cardinals announced that veteran right-handed pitcher Jorge Alcala is being designated for assignment.
