EDGE Analysis

Dickson's contract was selected by the Cardinals on Wednesday, and he allowed three runs in two innings across two appearances during his time on the major-league roster. The right-hander will be cast off the 40-man roster once again after southpaw Andrew Miller (foot) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Brandon Dickson has agreed to a contract with the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball. Dickson will soon be released by the Cardinals so that he can head over to Japan.

Cardinals recalled RHP Brandon Dickson from Triple-A Memphis. Dickson was last with the big club in May. In the midst of a decent minor-league campaign (3.55 ERA through 134 1/3 innings), the 27-year-old righty could serve as either a long-man or righty specialist out of the Cards' bullpen.

The Cardinals are expected to recall right-hander Brandon Dickson from Triple-A Memphis on Friday. No word yet on the corresponding roster move. Dickson made two appearances with the Cards in May, but has spent most of the season at the Triple-A level, posting a 3.55 ERA and 96/27 K/BB ratio in 134 1/3 innings over 22 starts.

The Cardinals will choose between Brandon Dickson and Joe Kelly to start Saturday against the Indians. Whoever gets the call will be filling in for Jamie Garcia, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday with a shoulder strain. Dickson has the edge in major league experience, but Kelly has a solid 2.86 ERA and 45/21 K/BB ratio in 12 starts with Triple-A Louisville this year. Both can be avoided in most fantasy leagues, though.

Cardinals option RHP Brandon Dickson to Triple-A Memphis. Dickson made just two appearances during his nearly two-week stay with the big club, allowing one unearned run over 2 1/3 innings while striking out one and walking none. He'll likely be back with the Cardinals at some point later this summer.

Cardinals optioned RHP Brandon Dickson to Triple-A Memphis. Dickson surrendered seven hits and five earned runs in four Grapefruit League innings. The righty is doubtful to climb to the big leagues this year before September.

Brandon Dickson lasted just 3 1/3 innings and allowed three runs Thursday versus the Brewers. Dickson was given a big early lead, but he didn't last in the contest, and the win ended up going to Octavio Dotel in an 8-4 game. Dickson figures to spend most of September in middle relief unless someone gets hurt.
