If you’re a St. Louis Cardinals fan hoping to get a glimpse of No. 2 prospect Liam Doyle this season, you can find him over in Double-A with the Springfield Cardinals. <\/p>\n
The Springfield Cardinals announced its ros<\/a>ter<\/a> to kick off the 2026 season on April 1 and it has Doyle on it after he made one appearance with the club in 2025. The Cardinals selected Doyle with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft out of the University of Tennessee. He made two professional appearances before the season ended. One at High-A Palm Beach and one at Double-A Springfield. With Springfield, Doyle went two shutout innings while striking out three batters. <\/p>\n The fact that he’s starting the season in Double-A isn’t a shock after he was promoted to that level in 2025. But it is very interesting. Doyle has been talked about as a prospect who could end up being fast-tracked to the big leagues. As things stand, he is just two steps away from the big leagues already and he is just 21 years old. If you’re a Cardinals fan, you aren’t likely to see him at Busch Stadium until later in the campaign, if at all in 2026. Doyle is a guy who has had a lot of buzz<\/a> heading into the 2026 season. <\/p>\n Liam Doyle will start the season in Double-A<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you’re a St. Louis Cardinals fan hoping to get a glimpse of No. 2 prospect Liam Doyle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2403],"tags":[5,160,4,673,67,4311,4310],"class_list":{"0":"post-658985","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-st-louis-cardinals","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-cardinals","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-st-louis","12":"tag-st-louis-cardinals","13":"tag-stlouis","14":"tag-stlouiscardinals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116335753778941287","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
