St. Louis Cardinals — News
May's 4.30 ERA and 0.301 xwOBA rank below the rotation average despite eating $12MM+ of St. Louis's $18MM offseason payroll commitment. At 5-6 with a 1.20 WHIP, he's underperforming the youth movement narrative that justified the contract.
Pérez returns in under a month despite an eight-week projection, taking the mound today against Texas. The Marlins (41-39, +1 run diff) pair him against deGrom (3.59 ERA, 0.296 xwOBA), making this a significant roster reset after Pérez's IL stint.
Roycroft has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors this season; the deal clears roster space for St. Louis, which sits 42-34 with a +5 run differential.
Bratt has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors yet. Arizona will activate him for Wednesday's game against STL, where Kyle Leahy (4.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 0.375 xwOBA) starts for the Cardinals.
May's 1-hit, 1-walk performance with 9 SO on 101 pitches is his strongest outing of the season—his 3.75 ERA and 8.27 K/9 have made him a swing starter, but this display strengthens his free-agent case heading into the deadline.
Chicago Cubs — News
Swanson's recent hot streak comes after a .210 AVG with a .304 xwOBA across 83 games, indicating the baseline remains weak despite the short-term uptick. His 76 strikeouts against 37 walks reflects a high-risk approach that inflates variance.
Roa (5.19 ERA, 1.96 WHIP, 7 G with Houston this season) declined the minor league assignment, clearing roster space for Chicago's bullpen which already features Webb (3.47 ERA), Thornton (2.63 ERA), and Thielbar (4.24 ERA) in established roles.
Velasquez appeared in just 2 games with a 0.30 WHIP across 3.1 IP, clearing the way for Chicago's rotation (Assad 4.04 ERA, Imanaga 4.30) to remain intact heading into their series against San Diego.
Cubs improved to 47-38 with their third straight win after a late rally, while Mets fell to 35-50 (1-9 in last 10) despite a pinch-hit homer in their loss.
Chicago's 46-38 record and +40 run differential rank second in NL Central, but Suzuki remains a peripheral contributor with a .262 AVG and .336 xwOBA across 68 games—his power uptick (12 HR) masks a contact problem (77 SO in 68 G).
