Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
I hope they don't lose a year of service with him. "A pitcher loses Major League Baseball rookie eligibility if they exceed 50 innings pitched or spend more than 45 days on an active MLB roster." Maybe they'll move him up and down a bit to avoid that.

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
dobbins couldnt be recalled for 20 days after we just sent him down so they had no choice but to promite matthews instead for trading may. dobbins could still slot back in afterwardscraviduce wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 13:48 pm He could be getting the call up, I just find it odd to put him on 9-11 days rest...I can't remember his exact last start. But isn't that pitcher malpractice? That much rest between starts, when they don't need to be skipped?
These guys are creatures of habit...mental taboo to mess with that.
I don't think he's taking May's spot in the rotation, he very well could be taking May's spot on the 40 man.
Mathews could be pitching well before May's next go in the rotation

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
dobbins couldnt be recalled for 20 days after we just sent him down the other day so they couldnt recall dobbins to replace trading may. its possible they send quinn mattgews back down once dobbins can be recalled and slot back into the rotation

They can recall a player earlier in the event of a trade.

He can be recalled if there is a trade.Wattage wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 18:00 pmdobbins cant be recalled for 20 days from when we sent him down.rockondlouie wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 12:58 pmCould this mean a call-up is imminent?Futuregm2 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 12:53 pm He was originally supposed to pitch today, but Brandt Thompson and Jared Shuster will now be pitching the double header for Memphis.
Per Jeff Jones twitter:
“The Cardinals originally said that Quinn Mathews would pitch today for Memphis. They now list Brandt Thompson and Jared Shuster as their starters for their doubleheader. Mathews does not appear through Sunday. Marmol said he would update the rotation postgame. #AClue”
-Is a deal for D. May in the works?
-Is he replacing Libby in the rotation?![]()
-What about H. Dobbins, wasn't he the likely replacement when May is dealt?
Stay Tuned
quinn matthews has tp be added to 40 man roster this offseason anyway so adding him now wouldnt really mess up anything 40 man wise from adding too early.
Can't wait to see Q. Just throw strikes and all the rest will be fine

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
They already announced he will start Saturday. Who’s spot is that?

I don’t know the answer, but I’m going with Gastelum.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:46 pmYes he will start Saturday they haven’t said the move to make room for him yetCardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:24 pmThey already announced he will start Saturday. Who’s spot is that?

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
I think they have to add him to the roster so someone will have to depart the 40 man my guess is a trade maybe?Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:51 pmI don’t know the answer, but I’m going with Gastelum.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:46 pmYes he will start Saturday they haven’t said the move to make room for him yetCardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:24 pmThey already announced he will start Saturday.

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
Oh. I gotcha now. Can you send a guy that is on the 40 man roster to the minor leagues without him being subjected to somebody, grabbing him on waivers? Or some players automatically become waiver eligible even if they’re on the 40 man roster? I hope that makes sense.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:55 pmI think they have to add him to the roster so someone will have to depart the 40 man my guess is a trade maybe?Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:51 pmI don’t know the answer, but I’m going with Gastelum.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:46 pmYes he will start Saturday they haven’t said the move to make room for him yetCardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:24 pmThey already announced he will start Saturday.

Could they send Gastelum down even though he is on the 40 man roster and not be subjected to a waiver pick up?
That would mean anybody on the 40 man roster could be cut. I’d maybe think about cutting Nolan Gorman off the forty man roster.
Who would want him on their major league squad, the rest of the season? I’m just throwing things out there.

Or, someone vould go on the 60-day IL. At season’s end, a move would have to be made in this case.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:55 pmI think they have to add him to the roster so someone will have to depart the 40 man my guess is a trade maybe?Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:51 pmI don’t know the answer, but I’m going with Gastelum.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:46 pmYes he will start Saturday they haven’t said the move to make room for him yetCardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 19:24 pmThey already announced he will start Saturday.

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
players on 40 man roster get 3 option years where they can be sent to minors. if they are on 40 man roster but not on mlb team. they burn an option year.(only bhrn 1 option per year. you cant lose 2 options in same year even if sent down again) when they are out of option years they have to clear waivers to go to minors. claiming team has to add them to their mlb roster.Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 20:02 pmOh.

a player removed from 40 man roster completely has to go through waivers and claiming team only has to add them to their 40 man roster.
gastellum was added this year. he has 3 option years and can be optioned to minors.
if dustin may is traded, matthews just takes his spot on 40 man roster. along with anyone else we trade away unless the players we trade for have to be on 40 man

Re: Quinn Mathews getting the call?
Yea they can send gastelum down but that woudlnt open a spot on the 40 man i think may or someone is traded or they could dump strzelecki off the 40 man they’ve done that with a couple of pitchers like him already I think they trade Gorman for a lottery pick before they cut him thoughCardinals1964 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026 20:02 pmOh.
