The Cardinals have placed left-hander Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list due to a lower back strain. Matz, signed to a four-year, $44M deal in 2022, has struggled with shoulder issues and has not met expectations. After a promising start to the season with a 1.80 ERA, Matz's last three outings have seen 16 earned runs scored. Right-hander Kyle Leahy was recalled in a corresponding move.
