Gant was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old made three starts in the Redbirds' rotation this season, posting a stellar 2.19 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. With the big-league club releasing Jonathan Broxton, a spot in the bullpen finally opened up for Gant to return to the majors. He'll likely act as a long reliever during his time in St. Louis.

Gant (groin) fired four scoreless innings in Triple-A Memphis' win over Fresno on Monday. He gave up three hits and two walks while also notching two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old right-hander now boasts a 1.23 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in the 7.1 innings across his two starts, along with a 6:3 K:BB. Gant tore his groin during the last week of spring training after compiling a 1.50 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 12.0 innings during the exhibition slate. The Cardinals boast a crowded and healthy bullpen at the moment, so Gant could remain with the Redbirds for the foreseeable future.

Gant (groin) could soon be ready to begin a rehab assignment, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gant's recovery process has been a prolonged one, as he originally suffered his groin tear in the final week of spring training and has only recently begun to ramp up his activity. However, he's made sufficient progress to where general manager John Mozeliak feels he'll be ready to take the mound with Triple-A Memphis for some rehab outings in the coming weeks.

Gant (groin) has progressed to the point in his rehab where the team believes he can "start pushing" on his activity level, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old has been on the disabled list since just before Opening Day after a solid spring that included a 1.50 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 12.0 innings of work. The Cardinals bullpen has been solid thus far, meaning that Gant is still likely destined to start the campaign in Triple-A Memphis once he's healthy enough to pitch. He last saw game action in a March 25 spring tilt versus the Marlins, when he exited with the groin tightness that's led to his prolonged absence.

EDGE Analysis
Gant was pitching well this spring before injuring his groin, accumulating a 1.50 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 12.0 innings. The 24-year-old will start the year off on the DL, but he'll likely head to Triple-A Memphis once he is healthy enough to return.
