Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals in March of 2026.
DFA'd by St. Louis
The Cardinals designated Roycroft for assignment Thursday.
Analysis
The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Max Rajcic. Roycroft has flashed promise in spurts for the Cardinals but holds an unsightly 6.41 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 52:37 K:BB over 60.1 innings covering parts of three big-league seasons.
