Cardinals Activate Matt Adams, Designate Nick Greenwood

By Jeff Todd | September 9, 2015 at 11:18am CDT

The Cardinals have announced the activation of first baseman Matt Adams, who has missed a lengthy stretch with a quadriceps injury. To clear 40-man space, the club designated left-hander Nick Greenwood for assignment.

Adams, 27, last saw action on May 26th. He was hitting just .243/.281/.375 on the season at that point, a disappointing drop-off from the well-above-average batting lines he had put up over the prior two seasons. Adams will look to get back on track late in the year, both to reestablish himself in the team’s regular mix and to bolster his upcoming, first-time arbitration case.

In his absence, the Cardinals added fellow left-handed power hitter Brandon Moss, who has hit well since coming to St. Louis. The club also promoted top prospect Stephen Piscotty, a righty, who has seen some action at first. Both Moss and, in particular, Piscotty are also capable of playing the corner outfield. All told, the club has some flexibility both to bring Adams back slowly and to play matchups in the post-season.

Greenwood, 27, has thrown 36 big league innings for the Cards, including just one appearance this year in which he did not record an out. The southpaw has worked both as a starter and a reliever in the minors. After a solid campaign throwing mostly from the pen last season, he has scuffled to a 5.79 ERA in 129 Triple-A frames on the year in 2015, with 4.2 K/9 against 1.7 BB/9.

    This will only help the Cardinals as they represent the NL in the WS.

    Even Years- Giants
    Odd Years- Cardinals

    Know the rules, NL teams.

    Adams is a known Pirate killer, so this is bad news. Even worse is the fact that he’s from Punxsutawney, which is in the Pittsburgh area. We don’t get many pro players from Pittsburgh, so it’s just pouring salt in the wound.

      You do have Mark Cuban and Christina Aguilera, for whatever that’s worth…
