Thomas Saggese Returning to Major Leagues
Thomas Saggese to the major leagues prior to their contest on Friday. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals placed catcher Ivan Herrera (hamstring) on the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain. Saggese is currently considered the No. 5 prospect in the system on MLB.com. The Cardinals drafted Saggese in the fifth round of the 2020 MLB Draft. The 23-year-old has appeared in 32 MLB games over the past two seasons and held a .267/.302/.400 slash line with six doubles, two home runs, and a 25:4 K:BB. However, through 42 games at Triple-A this season, Saggese has been quite productive, posting a .317/.402/.445 slash line with six doubles, five home runs, and five stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect Saggese to have a role as a depth infielder, and he is not worth adding in any standard leagues.
