Cardinals Move Mautz, Let Go of Ferguson | St. Louis Cardinals News

Cardinals shake up the bullpen, calling up 25-year-old lefty Brycen Mautz from Triple-A Memphis while sending veteran Caleb Ferguson to waivers—setting the stage for a strategic tandem with Kyle Leahy against the Pirates. Mautz, Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2025, brings a 3.78 ERA and 1-6 record in 31 games, transitioning from starter to reliever this season. Ferguson, acquired last year, struggled with an 8.64 ERA in just nine appearances. With Mautz already on the 40-man roster, the Cardinals now have an open spot—and Ferguson’s waiver fate could see him hit free agency.
