Kaminsky was optioned to the Cardinals' alternate training site Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky didn't allow any baserunners over two innings while striking out two over the past two days, but he'll still be removed from the 28-man roster. The southpaw will remain on the taxi squad for the current road trip, so he could be available on short notice. Jesus Cruz's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Kaminsky was added to the Cardinals' major-league roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky will join the major-league roster for the first time to fill in amid the team's COVID-19 outbreak. He could make his debut as early as Saturday, but he's unlikely to pitch in high-leverage situations in the big leagues.

Kaminsky will be called up to the 28-man roster when the Cardinals' season resumes following their COVID-19 outbreak, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Cardinals hoping to resume their season with a doubleheader against the White Sox on Saturday, Kaminsky is among those who will fill the roster spots left empty by the team's virus outbreak. Kaminsky could make his big-league debut as soon as Saturday with the Cardinals utilizing a bullpen game in the second half of the doubleheader.

The Cardinals assigned Kaminsky to their alternate training site in Springfield on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky was one of four players sent packing from big-league camp as the Cardinals trimmed down their group ahead of Opening Day. A 2013 first-round pick of the Cardinals, Kaminsky is in his second stint with the organization after he was previously traded to the Indians in 2015 before joining St. Louis on a minor-league deal this winter. He split time between Triple-A Columbus and Double-A Akron last season, compiling a 3.54 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 56 innings.

Kaminsky (abdomen) was reinstated from the 7-day disabled list and transferred to High-A Lynchburg.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky has yet to pitch this season after recovering from a forearm injury that he suffered last April, to go along with an abdomen issue that plagued him in recent weeks. Instead of continuing at the Double-A level, the organization decided to bring him back to High-A in order to get his arm back up to speed.

Kaminsky landed on the 7-day disabled list Wednesday with left forearm soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Cardinals in 2015 as part of the Brandon Moss trade, Kaminsky has seen his prospect star diminish quite a bit after posting underwhelming strikeout rates the last one and a half seasons in the Indians organization. The forearm injury won't help Kaminsky's case for making his way to the big leagues anytime soon, even it proves to be only a short-term setback. Kaminsky made one start with Double-A Akron prior to hitting the DL, conceding five runs on six hits and two walks over five innings.

Kaminsky believes that a change in his delivery posture will lead to more success in 2017, David Laurila of Fangraphs reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old left-hander still ranks as the Indians' 19th-best prospect, but has seen his stock fall ever since coming over to the Indians from the Cardinals in the summer of 2015 for Brandon Moss. Although Kaminsky has been solid (3.28 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 137 innings last year), his stuff - specifically his 6.0 K/9 and 1.9 K/BB - is reasonably unattractive compared to other young guns. There's an outside chance the former first-round pick will make his MLB debut with a spot start in 2017, but it would take a slew of injuries for Kaminsky to become a mainstay in the team's rotation.
