The Cardinals, trying to fill from their coronavirus heavy injured list, summoned four players on Wednesday from their alternate training site in Springfield but none of them was named Dylan Carlson, their prized outfield prospect.
Righthander Alex Reyes and lefthander Genesis Cabrera were recalled from the minors and the club purchased the contracts of infielder Max Schrock and righthander Roel Ramirez.
Schrock had been traveling as a member of the taxi squad but Ramirez joined the club for the first time. Schrock will be the No. 3 shortstop behind Tommy Edman and Brad Miller, with Paul DeJong sidelined by a positive coronavirus test.
