Michael Blazek - R - Cardinals

Cardinals recalled RHP Michael Blazek from Double-A Springfield.

The bullpen had to eat up a lot of innings following John Gast's injury Saturday, so the Cards need a fresh arm. Blazek has put up a 0.92 ERA while striking out 25 over 19 2/3 innings at Springfield this season. He'll be making his major league debut when he gets in a game.

Michael Blazek - R - Cardinals

Cardinals optioned RHP Michael Blazek to Triple-A Memphis.

Blazek, 24, wasn't expected to make the club this spring due to the team's bullpen depth anyway, so he'll return to Triple-A Memphis, where he made two appearances last season. Overall, Blazek had a 4.43 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A in 2012.

Michael Blazek - R - Cardinals

Cardinals purchased the contract of RHP Michael Blazek from Triple-A Memphis.

Blazek, 23, had a 4.43 ERA and 84/36 K/BB ratio over 83 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A this year. He's likely nothing more than a bullpen arm, but the Cardinals didn't want to leave him exposed for the Rule 5 Draft.
