The Cardinals
optioned Baker to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
ANALYSISBaker has played sparingly as the short side of a platoon at designated hitter, slashing .235/.366/.324 over 41 plate appearances. The Cardinals have not announced a corresponding move, but it will likely involve activating
Ivan Herrera (knee) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Nationals.
