Carmen Cali

6/24/2005

The Cardinals have recalled relief pitcher Carmen Cali from Triple-A Memphis. Earlier in the day the team placed pitcher Randy Flores on the 15-day disabled list, opening a roster spot for Cali. The 26-year-old lefthander posted a 15.00 ERA over three innings in a May stint with the Cardinals. Cali was 2-3 with a 4.45 ERA and two saves for Memphis.

Opening a spot on the roster for Bill Pulsipher, who was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Thursday, the St. Louis Cardinals have optioned Cali to Triple-A Memphis. According to manager Tony La Russa, the club would like to give the lefthander some time to work on his control with the minor league club.

In two stints with the Cardinals this season, Cali has allowed five runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- in just three innings of work. He should be back in St. Louis later this season, but he isn't worth a spot on your fantasy squad.

Cali has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis by the St. Louis Cardinals, filling the roster spot of closer Jason Isringhausen, who is expected to miss the next two weeks with a strained abdominal muscle. In seven relief appearances with the minor league club, the lefthander is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA.

Cali was with the Cardinals earlier this season, but made just one appearance in his short stint, allowing one hit and striking out a batter in one scoreless inning. He has no fantasy value at this point.

Cali has been optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the St. Louis Cardinals, opening a spot on the 25-man roster for righthander Matt Morris, who is scheduled to take the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Cali made just one appearance in his short stint with the Cardinals, allowing one hit and striking out a batter in one scoreless inning.

Cali, a lefthander, just missed out on winning a spot on the Cards' Opening Day roster after allowing three earned runs in 8.1 innings in spring training. He made his major league debut last season and pitched in 10 games with St. Louis, posting an 8.59 ERA.
