Alex Reyes, Genesis Cabrera Closer To Joining Team
4 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said that pitchers Alex Reyes and Genesis Cabrera are "getting closer" to joining the team for workouts at summer camp. Reyes has not been at camp for undisclosed reasons, while Cabrera tested positive for COVID-19 during intake testing at the beginning of camp. He was asymptomatic. With Opening Day less than a week away, their availability for the start of the season is in question, and Shildt said the team won't rush them. With John Brebbia (elbow) and Jordan Hicks out for the season, St. Louis could use both Reyes and Cabrera to strengthen their bullpen. Cabrera has an electric fastball from the left side, while Reyes, 25, is trying to rebound from three lost seasons due to injury. Reyes was once a top prospect, but he likely won't have any redraft appeal unless he finds his way into the starting rotation at some point.
