Ahead of Saturday’s game, news came out that Peter Strzelecki had elected free agency.
John Denton of Roundtable Sports wrote: “Peter Strzelecki becomes a former #STLCards pitcher by choosing free agency over Triple-A Memphis assignment.”
He was designated for assignment earlier this week.
The Cardinals wrote (via X) on September 16: “RHP Peter Strzelecki has been reinstated from the 15-day IL and designated for assignment. INF Ramón Urías has been designated for assignment.”
INF Ramón Urías has been designated for assignment.
Strzelecki appeared in eight games for the Cardinals.
He went 1-1 with a 5.79 ERA.
Looking At Strzelecki
Strzelecki has spent part of four seasons at the MLB level.
Before the Cardinals, he had stops with the Milwaukee Brewers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Guardians.
Over 85 career games, the 31-year-old has gone 6-7 with a 3.78 ERA.
It will be interesting to see if Strzelecki gets picked up by another MLB team.
