Cardinals DFA Rookie Nick Raquet After Brief MLB Stint
6 Apr
Summary
- Jared Shuster joins the Cardinals' big league club.
- Chris Roycroft has been optioned down to the minors.
- Nick Raquet was designated for assignment by the Cardinals.

The St. Louis Cardinals enacted multiple bullpen moves on Sunday, April 6, 2026. The team selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Jared Shuster, adding him to the major league roster. Concurrently, right-handed pitcher Chris Roycroft was optioned to the Triple-A Memphis club.
In a notable roster change, the Cardinals designated 30-year-old rookie left-handed pitcher Nick Raquet for assignment. Raquet made just two appearances in the majors during his short stint, which was his first and only major league experience to date. His path to the big leagues included playing in an independent league before joining the Cardinals' organization.
