Cardinals Call Up Hjerpe for Series Finale | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals are calling up rookie lefty Cooper Hjerpe for their series finale in Colorado — the third young arm to get a shot this week. Just 25, Hjerpe replaces struggling Hancel Rincon and brings with him a first-round pedigree, resilience through Tommy John surgery, and a side-arm delivery that’s tough to square up. Though he’s still working on control (walking too many batters), his strikeout rate is solid and his ERA sits at 3.00 across 15 minor league games after a 23-month layoff. With the team chasing a wild-card spot and needing momentum, a win today could spark a winning streak they haven’t seen since August — and keep their road surge alive.
