Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Thomas Saggese is currently experiencing a severe offensive slump, holding MLB's worst consecutive hitless streak at 28+ at-bats (spanning more than two weeks). He was recently optioned to Triple-A Memphis for playing time and development but has been recalled to the majors following Ramon Urias's IL placement due to right elbow lateral epicondylitis. Saggese is being utilized as a utility player, seeing time at third base, outfield, and center field as the Cardinals manage their infield depth. Despite the positional versatility, his offensive production remains a significant concern.
