Mayers was optioned to Triple-A Springfield on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers was the corresponding roster move needed to clear a spot on the Cardinals' active roster for Carlos Martinez, who was brought back from the disabled list ahead of his scheduled start against the Marlins on Tuesday. The 26-year-old owns a shiny 2.30 ERA across 15.2 innings with St. Louis this season, so he should be back with the big club as soon as a fresh bullpen arm is needed.
