BOX SCORE SCOREBOARD

The St. Louis Cardinals selected rookie corner infielder Blaze Jordan from Triple-A Memphis on Friday to make his major league debut against the host Minnesota Twins.

Jordan will bat eighth and play third base for the Cardinals.

A 2020 third-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox, Jordan was dealt to St. Louis in last year's trade that sent left-hander Steven Matz to Boston. In 57 games at Triple-A this year, the 23-year-old was batting .313 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs.

His selection was one of five roster moves the Cardinals made on Friday.


They also recalled right-hander Chris Roycroft from Memphis, optioned infielder Nolan Gorman and right-hander Hunter Dobbins to Triple-A and moved infielder Ramon Urias (elbows) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL.

Roycroft, 28, made five appearances out of the bullpen for St. Louis earlier this year (3 2/3 innings) and amassed a 12.27 ERA. He has a 5.98 career ERA in 52 games for St. Louis (2024-26).

Gorman, 26, has slumped to a career-low .194 batting average with one hit in his last 26 at-bats. He has seven homers and 26 RBIs over 62 games in his fifth major league season, all with the Cardinals.

Dobbins, 26, got into four games and made two starts for the Cardinals this season, going 1-0 with a 3.63 ERA. He arrived in a separate trade with Boston after making his major league debut there last year.
