Roycroft

Roycroft has struggled in his chances with the Cardinals as seen in a 6.92 ERA over 13 innings. He’ll head back to Memphis — again — with Andre Granillo replacing him on the active roster.

Roycroft will get another shot in the Cardinals pen in spite of his 8.49 ERA in 11 2/3 innings in Triple-A and 7.20 ERA in 10 innings in the majors this year.

Roycroft has been up and down a few times in the 2025 season, and it’s probably not the last time his name will show up on the transaction list. He’s down with Matt Svanson up.

Roycroft will give the Cardinals a fresh arm in the bullpen before their three-game set against Mets. He won’t operate in a high-leverage situation, if it’s avoidable, anyway.

Roycroft will head down with the Cardinals needing fresh arms in their bullpen before the series against the Phillies. A corresponding transaction will be announced Friday.

Roycroft has been a frequent traveler from Memphis to St. Louis, and he’ll make one final trip between the two cities. He’ll operate in middle relief with Jojo Romero (forearm) out for the remainder of the year.

Roycroft is the casualty on the roster for Lance Lynn with Lynn coming off the injured list with knee inflammation The 27-year-old has made a few trips between St. Louis and Memphis, and he could be back before the campaign ends.

Roycroft provides the Cardinals with a fresh arm heading into Saturday’s showdown against the Mariners. The 27-year-old righty has made 24 relief appearances this season in the big leagues and has been downright dominant at Triple-A Memphis with a sparkling 1.96 ERA and 42/15 K/BB ratio across 41 1/3 innings of work.

Roycroft pitched three innings the last two days, so he’s getting swapped out for a fresh arm. He has a 4.15 ERA in 24 appearances for the Cardinals this season.

Roycroft has a 2.87 ERA in 13 appearances with the Cardinals this year. St. Louis has opted to shuttle the 26-year-old right-hander back-and-forth from Triple-A multiple times already this season, but he’s pitched well enough that maybe they keep him around for the duration this time.
