The St. Louis Cardinals are making a strategic shift to a six-man rotation during an intense 13-game stretch. Manager Oli Marmol has announced the promotion of Michael McGreevy, the Cardinals' No. 10 overall prospect, to start against the Dodgers. McGreevy, who boasts an impressive 1.57 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in his MLB tenure, had a notable outing earlier this season, throwing 5 2/3 shutout innings against the Mets. This move aims to provide additional rest for weary starters, potentially allowing McGreevy to stay beyond his initial start.

As the Cardinals face the Dodgers, they are also preparing for the presence of Shohei Ohtani at Busch Stadium, adding another layer of excitement to this matchup. With McGreevy's talent and the team's push for a strong finish, the Cardinals are looking to capitalize on this opportunity amidst a demanding schedule.
