The Cardinals optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
St. Louis is off Thursday and will likely wait until shortly before Friday's game against the Phillies to announce a replacement for Roycroft on the 26-man active roster. After winning a bullpen role out of spring training, Roycroft made seven relief appearances and collected two holds through the first two weeks of the season while allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and six walks over 5.2 innings.

Roycroft is one of four competitors eyeing one of the final two spots in the Cardinals' Opening Day bullpen, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nick Anderson, Kyle Leahy and Riley O'Brien are the others in the mix. Roycroft has put his best foot forward to claim one of the jobs, tossing six scoreless frames with a 5:1 K:BB during Grapefruit League play. The 6-foot-8 right-hander excelled at limiting hard contact last season with a 33.7 percent hard-hit rate and two percent barrel rate, but he'll need to find a weapon against left-handed batters after they had a .955 OPS against him in 2024. If Roycroft makes the Opening Day roster, it's likely to be as a middle reliever initially.

The Cardinals optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Roycroft struck out a pair while retiring all five batters he faced in Tuesday's loss to the Reds, but he'll continue to bounce back and forth between St. Louis and Memphis, as he's done often this season. Wednesday's starter, Lance Lynn (knee), was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis
Since being optioned to Triple-A at the end of July, Roycroft has turned in a 2.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 19:6 K:BB through 17.1 innings. He'll now rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen to provide the big squad with a fresh arm, replacing Kyle Leahy.
