Overview
- Bryan Torres was recalled to the Cardinals’ major-league roster for the weekend series in Cincinnati on Friday.
- The promotion corresponds to outfielder Nathan Church being expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list for a lower-body issue that will keep him out about a week to 10 days.
- Torres earned the call after a hot start at Triple-A Memphis, where he has hit roughly .336 with a .454 on-base percentage and drawn more walks than strikeouts.
- St. Louis does not need an additional 40-man roster transaction to promote Torres because he was added to the 40-man in November.
- A 28-year-old Puerto Rico native who played for Team Puerto Rico in the 2026 WBC, Torres projects to be a left-handed bench and platoon option and his arrival has prompted public speculation about further short-term roster moves.
