ST. LOUIS — Mired in a funk that culminated in an 0-7 road trip from which they just returned, the St. Louis Cardinals decided to shake things up Friday — their roster included.
General manager John Mozeliak announced several changes, including a pair of roster moves. Second baseman Kolten Wong was activated from the 10-day disabled list. To make room for him on the 25-man roster, the team designated infielder Jhonny Peralta for assignment.
The Cardinals also reorganized manager Mike Matheny’s coaching staff. Third-base coach Chris Maloney, who has been under fire for waving a number of baserunners around third who were thrown out at the plate in recent weeks, will be reassigned within the organization.
