The long wait is over, the Cardinals have called up Oscar Taveras. Unfortunately it comes at the expense of Matt Adams.
Per Derrick Goold, Taveras will be called up on Saturday and likely inserted into the lineup immediately, while Adams will head to the DL with a calf injury.
Its a shame to lose Adams, who is hitting .325/.337/.474 on the year and is one of the team's most productive hitters. However, the Cardinals hope that Taveras can fill the void, as he was hitting .325/.373/.524 at AAA Memphis.
Taveras will likely play right field while Adams is out, with Allen Craig shifting to 1B. Recently promoted Randal Grichuk will likely be the DH during the Cardinals road trip to the AL parks that starts on June 4th.
So, the long wait is finally over, however, unless he hits like gangbusters, don't expect his stay to last longer than that of Adams' on the DL.
