Cade Winquest: Everything you need to know

Winquest (undisclosed) has made two scoreless appearances at Triple-A Memphis since being activated from the 7-day injured list. Winquest missed nearly a month of action with an undisclosed injury but has turned in two spotless innings with a pair of strikeouts since returning to action. The 26-year-old was a Rule 5 pick of the Yankees before being returned to the Cardinals organization in mid-April. Winquest has a chance to debut out of the St. Louis bullpen this season, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot means others are ahead of him in the pecking order.

Winquest was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. No injury designation was provided. Winquest has allowed four runs with a 4:1 K:BB over three innings for Memphis since the Yankees returned the former Rule 5 pick to the Cardinals organization.

The Yankees returned Winquest to the Cardinals on Monday. The Rule 5 pick cracked the Yankees' Opening Day roster but never made an appearance for them before being jettisoned from the 40-man roster last week. The other 28 teams declined to scoop Winquest up off waivers, so he's now back in his original organization. Winquest has been used mostly as a starting pitcher during his time in the Cardinals' minor-league system, but it's not clear whether he'll return to that role at Triple-A Memphis or remain in the relief role that he'd been pitching in with the Yankees.
