Cardinals Pitching Crisis Deepens | St. Louis Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in crisis mode after Hunter Dobbins exited Friday’s game with forearm tightness, likely forcing him onto the injured list — compounding an already thin rotation with Andre Pallante already sidelined. To fill the void, they’ve called up Quinn Mathews but are eyeing deeper minor league options like Cooper Hjerpe or Jurrangelo Cijintje, even considering high-upside prospect Liam Doyle. With the trade deadline past, the waiver wire could be their lifeline — potentially snagging veterans like Shane Bieber or Max Scherzer as teams shed payroll. Already struggling with depth after losing Richard Fitts for the year, the Cardinals’ pitching woes could define their season — and the waiver wire might just be their best shot to survive.
