This Cardinals runway player has solidified his spot for the rest of the year

All year long, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol has had to balance playing time and competition. Under the playing time umbrella could be found players like Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker, Victor Scott II, Ivan Herrera, Alec Burleson, and now Thomas Saggese. Mind you, Willson Contreras, Masyn Winn, and Nolan Arenado were going to be given daily reps at their respective positions.

If you're keeping count at home, that is nine players who needed to receive playing time at only seven positions on the field (we'll ignore catchers for now, as Pedro Pages and Yohel Pozo have that spot locked up).
