Arauz
signed a minor-league contract with the Cardinals on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Arauz spent the majority of the 2018 season with Double-A Reading, posting a 4.59 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 131.1 innings (24 starts). He didn't fare much better in his first taste of Triple-A, struggling to a 6.23 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 8.2 innings (though he did strike out 12 batters in that stretch). Look for the 23-year-old to return to the upper minors in 2019.
