Stephen Piscotty: Will Be Called Up Tuesday

The St. Louis Cardinals purchased the contract of Stephen Piscotty from Triple-A Memphis and optioned fellow outfielder Tommy Pham to Memphis. He is expected to join the team before the start of Tuesday’s series against the Chicago White Sox – according to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com.

This season Piscotty has improved in nearly all statistical categories in contrast to last season (.272 average, 11 home runs, and 41 runs-batted-in) while also gaining experience at playing first base. Monday rumors indicated that the player to lose his spot could be infielder Pete Kozma, but ultimately those rumors proved to be false, as the club kept Kozma and instead designated minor-league utility player Ty Kelly for assignment.

Piscotty supposedly made his initial during on July 10.

With the updated interleague spin enabling professional Mike Matheny to actually put in a allotted batter into his squad, it is often exceptionally probable that Piscotty would see his first performance for being DH to assist increase a finding it hard pique.

Piscotty will advance to the Majors a little more than three years after being taken by the Cards with the 36th overall pick in the 2012 Draft. 288 with nine homers and a. 761 OPS in 136 games.

He moved through the Cardinals system fairly quickly, reaching Double-A in 2013 (.299/.364/.446) and Triple-A in 2014 (.288/.355/.406).
