I haven’t seen this much excitement surrounding a St. Louis Cardinals game in quite some time. It’s for good reason too. Alex Reyes, the pitching jewel of the Cardinals’ farm system, makes his long-awaited return from Tommy John surgery against the Milwaukee Brewers today. After being nothing short of impressive in all his rehab starts, including his last one in triple-A where he struck out nine batters in a row, all eyes now turn to see what kind of impact Reyes will have with the big league club.
It’s hard to imagine any scenario where Alex Reyes’ return to the starting rotation won’t be a positive thing.
