Cardinals re-signed LHP Packy Naughton to a two-year minor league contract.
Naughton announced the deal on Instagram, which will keep him with the Cardinals as he continues his rehabilitation after missing all of last year recovering from flexor tendon surgery. The 28-year-old southpaw has made 37 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2021.
Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Packy Naughton (forearm) is closing in on a rehab assignment.
Naughton has already begun throwing live BP sessions, and the 28-year-old now is close to facing competition from other teams. The southpaw underwent surgery to repair his flexor tendon last June. Once healthy, Naughton could help the Cardinals in a relief role.
Packy Naughton (forearm) has already been throwing in Cardinals’ camp with the expectation that he’ll be ready to return at some point in May.
The 27-year-old southpaw is still working his way back from last June’s forearm surgery. He’ll continue throwing regularly during Spring Training and should progress to facing live hitters before the end of March. Naughton made four appearances out of the Cardinals’ bullpen in 2023 — posting a 0.60 WHIP and 5/1 K/BB ratio across five scoreless frames.
Cardinals sent LHP Packy Naughton outright to Triple-A Memphis.
The move opens up a spot on the Cardinals’ 40-man roster to protect an additional prospect from next month’s Rule 5 Draft. The 27-year-old southpaw underwent forearm surgery back in June. It’s unclear when he’ll be ready to pitch again at this juncture.
