Scouting Report: Thomas Saggese
St Louis Cardinals | 2B
Overall
Summary
Thomas Saggese was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on May 4, 2026 after struggling offensively with the Cardinals (.170/.228/.208 slash line in 18 games). However, he was recalled just one day later on May 5 when Ramon Urias was placed on the IL with right elbow lateral epicondylitis. Saggese will now see increased playing time at third base against left-handed pitchers, but faces competition from César Prieto who was called up in his place. The recall represents an opportunity for Saggese to reset and perform better, though his early season performance has been concerning.
Strengths
- Recalled to MLB due to injury opportunity
- Will receive consistent playing time against LHP at third base
