On Wednesday, the St. Louis Cardinals made a series of roster moves, and one of them included cutting Scott Blewett.
MLBTR.com’s Steve Adams wrote:
“The Cardinals have designated right-handed reliever Scott Blewett for assignment, reports Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. His roster spot will go to righty Hunter Dobbins, who has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis. The Cardinals now have 39 players on their 40-man roster.”
Blewett pitched just two innings with the Cardinals this season. He did not give up a run. Now that he’s in DFA Limbo, if he clears waivers before being traded (which feels like a potential option), he can also elect MLB free agency. Blewett, 30, has pitched in parts of five seasons since 2020.
