Cards news: May 11 -- Jordan Walker sent to Memphis; Cameron Leary called up
The St. Louis Cardinals have sent their top hitting prospect outfielder Jordan Walker to AAA Memphis and called up outfielder Cameron Leary.
Walker, 21, was given the Cardinals' right field job after a good spring training.
It did not translate to the major league level.
In 26 games/24 starts, Walker hit just .129 with five home runs and 11 RBIs. He also scored 13 runs.
Leary, who had a great spring training, hasn't tore it up in the minors but the Cardinals would like to see what he does against major-league pitching.
The 22-year-old hit .185 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 15 games at AA Springfield.
In 24 games at Memphis, Leary has hit .225 with six homers and 16 RBIs.
