Ryan Loutos News: Booted from 40-man roster

The Cardinals designated Loutos for assignment Monday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder/outfielder Jose Barrero, who was called up from Triple-A Memphis. Loutos made three scoreless appearances for the Cardinals last season and has allowed three runs with a 6:2 K:BB over eight innings with Memphis in 2025. The 26-year-old could draw some interest via trade or waivers from a team seeking relief depth.
