Cardinals right-hander Richard Fitts has undergone season-ending surgery for a lat strain that placed him on the minor league injured list. Acquired from the Red Sox in the Sonny Gray trade, Fitts had the potential for big league playing time but was injured while in the minors after three Triple-A starts. This setback limits the Cardinals’ rotation depth as they rebuild, with Fitts currently not earning major league pay or service time. Other injured pitchers include Tekoah Roby and Cooper Hjerpe, both recovering from Tommy John surgery.
