Episode Details

The St. Louis Cardinals have promoted top prospect JJ Wetherholt to the Opening Day roster, setting him up for his debut against the Rays. In a related move, outfielder Lars Nootbaar is on the injured list due to heel surgeries. Wetherholt, a twenty-year-old drafted seventh overall, will likely start at second base and leadoff. Nootbaars absence will be filled by Nathan Church, Thomas Saggese, and Jose Fermin in the outfield, while Alec Burleson shifts to first base. The team is blending youth and experience as they begin their season.
