Now 26 years old, Dobbins is another major league-ready arm for the Cardinals. He debuted last season, going 4-1 with a 4.13 ERA for Boston (11 starts). He struck out just 45 in 61.0 innings before tearing his ACL. He should be ready to make an impact early in the 2026 season, and he could instantly slot in the St. Louis rotation alongside Matthew Liberatore, Andre Pallante and Dustin May, who spent part of the 2025 season with the Red Sox as well.
