St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Nathan Church is in strong consideration to break camp with the MLB roster, according to Bill Ladson of MLB.com. Church has put together an impressive showing in spring training and could find a lead role on a rebuilding club in 2026. Through 14 games, Church has held a .313/.436/.469 line with a .905 OPS, one home run, and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old made his MLB debut last summer and posted a modest .279/.254/.250 line with one stolen base and one round-tripper. He spent most of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Memphis, where he carried a dominant .335/.400/.521 line. Given that Lars Nootbaar (heel) is unavailable to open the campaign, Church could slot in as the everyday left fielder to begin the season.--Andy Smith
