Cardinals acquired INF Luke Dykstra from the Braves in the Jaime Garcia trade.
Dykstra, a seventh-round pick from 2014, batted .304/.332/.363 over 81 games this past season with Class A Rome. The 21-year-old doesn’t have any power or patience (he has two homers and 23 walks in 749 plate appearances in the minors), but he has shown an ability to make contact and hit for average. Perhaps he could turn into a utility or bench player down the line.
