Availability
Cardinals reliever Matt Pushard has made the club's Opening Day roster.
Fantasy Impact
The Cardinals scooped Pushard from the Marlins in December's Rule 5 draft. Had he not made the team, he would be offered back to the Marlins for $50K. The 28-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut and posted a 3.61 ERA at Triple-A Jacksonville with the Marlins in 2025.
Right-handed Marlins prospect Matt Pushard has been drafted by the Cardinals with the seventh pick of the MLB Rule 5 Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Pushard, 28, spent the entire 2025 season with the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate in Jacksonville. The right-hander posted a 3.61 ERA in 49 appearances and 62 1/3 innings of work. He must remain on the Cardinals' active roster for the entire 2026 season or be offered back to the Marlins for $50,000.
