Ryan Loutos optioned to Triple-A MemphisMarch 13, 2025 | 01:57 PM

The Cardinals optioned Loutos to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, leaving him off their Opening Day bullpen, MLB.com reports. Writer's Analysis: Loutos put together a solid 2024 season in Memphis with a 3.40 ERA over 53 innings and even made three major-league appearances. However, his Grapefruit League showing--allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits over three innings--wasn't enough to secure a bullpen spot. The 26-year-old right-hander remains a likely candidate for in-season call-ups if St. Louis needs fresh relief depth.
