The St. Louis Cardinals are reeling after a brutal six-game skid that’s pushed them out of playoff contention, leaving them with a 52-51 record and more than two games behind the final wild-card spot. With a rebuild already in motion, they’re unlikely to make big moves at the trade deadline. But here’s the silver lining: their top pitching prospect, Quinn Matthews, is ready to step up. The 25-year-old lefty, who dominated Triple-A with a 1.59 ERA over his last 10 starts and 3.13 ERA on the season, could be the key to salvaging their rotation. Drafted in the fourth round in 2023, Matthews has already racked up 111 strikeouts in 19 starts and is primed for a big-league debut — especially if the Cardinals trade away any starters. It’s time to bring him up.
