Jake Walsh

FA Relief Pitcher #61
Cardinals optioned RHP Jake Walsh to Triple-A Memphis; reassigned INF/OF Cory Spangenberg, LHP Connor Thomas, C Julio Rodriguez to minor league camp.

Walsh was added to the Cardinals’ 40-man roster last November, but failed to make the team’s Opening Day roster in a relief role. Spangenberg is the other notable inclusion here as he’ll head to Triple-A Memphis to get some at-bats in before being an option at some point later this season.
