During their series with the Braves, news came out that the Cardinals had released Bligh Madris from their organization.
MLB.com wrote (on July 11): “Memphis Redbirds released OF Bligh Madris.”
He did not appear in a game for the Cardinals.
The 30-year-old had been playing for their Triple-A affiliate.
Looking At Madris
Madris was picked in the 9th round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
He has spent part of three seasons in the MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers.
Over 72 career games, Madris is batting .204 with 42 hits, two home runs, 12 RBIs, 22 runs and two stolen bases.
Madris last appeared in an MLB game during the 2024 season (with the Tigers).
He could be a good addition to another organization in need of hitting depth at the Triple-A level.
St. Louis Right Now
The Cardinals come into Sunday’s matchup with the Braves as the third-place team in the National League Central with a 50-44 record in 94 games.
They have gone 5-5 over their last ten games (and are 26-25 in 51 games at home).
Following the All-Star break, the Cardinals will play their next series on July 17 when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
