Quinn Mathews Fires Five Scoreless Innings on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews allowed one hit and two walks over five scoreless innings as he picked up the win against Triple-A Norfolk. Mathews was efficient in this outing, needing only 72 pitches. He generated 13 swings and misses on 31 swings for an excellent 42 percent whiff rate. The left-hander has been good through three starts in June, holding a 1.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 17:6 K:BB in 13 innings. His WHIP for the season still sits at a poor 1.55 as he's dealt with inconsistent control. He has walked at least three batters in five of nine starts this season. Mathews is trending in the right direction and should see time at the major-league level at some point this summer. His strikeout upside isn't huge, though, which limits his fantasy relevance to deeper formats.

Quinn Mathews Strikes Out Four in First Rehab Start

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with the team's Florida Complex League affiliate on Monday. The southpaw threw two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out four in the outing. It's not clear how many starts the 24-year-old will make at that level, but an eventual return to Triple-A Memphis will take place once the rehab is complete. The 6-foot-5 hurler posted a 2.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and a 26.8 percent K-BB% in 26 starts across various levels of the minors last year, recording 202 strikeouts in 143 1/3 IP and earning Minor League Pitcher of the Year honors. The Cardinals' second-ranked prospect should push for a call-up to the big leagues later this year, assuming command and velocity are intact upon his return to Memphis, which were some catalysts for his IL stint in the first place. The closer it looks to a debut, the lefty will become one of the higher priority prospect stashes.

Quinn Mathews Set To Start Throwing Program

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews (shoulder) is set to begin a throwing program on Wednesday or Thursday. Mathews was placed on the 7-day injured list with shoulder soreness. However, it appears this injury is not overly serious, and the top pitching prospect is already set to begin building back up. After an impressive 2024 campaign, Mathews took a step back through the early part of 2025 before his injury. Across his first 10 1/3 innings at Triple-A Springfield, the southpaw posted a 6.10 ERA with a 2.52 WHIP. He tallied just seven punchouts and served up 15 walks. However, last summer, across 143 1/3 innings split between Low-A, High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A, the No.2-ranked prospect in the system held a 2.76 ERA with a stellar 0.98 WHIP. If he can return to the mound soon, he should still be in the mix to make his MLB debut later this summer.

Quinn Mathews Placed On Triple-A Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list on Monday afternoon. The team did not provide a reason why the budding southpaw hit the injured list. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. Last summer, Mathews enjoyed an impressive campaign in the minor leagues as he began the season with Low-A and was able to finish the campaign with Triple-A. Across 126 1/3 innings in Low-A through Double-A, Mathews held a stellar 2.27 ERA with a 0.85 WHIP. During his first look at Triple-A, he allowed 12 runs across 16 innings. During the start of the 2025 campaign, Mathews showed similar struggles at Triple-A, posting a 6.10 ERA with a 2.57 WHIP across 10 1/3 innings. This injury will likely keep Mathews in the minor leagues through most of the first half of the campaign.

Quinn Mathews Assigned To Minor-League Camp

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitching prospect Quinn Mathews was assigned to minor-league camp on Sunday. As a result, the budding ace will not open the season in the major leagues. Mathews was invited to camp and had an outside chance of breaking the Opening Day roster. However, the team will opt to let their top arm continue his development in the minor leagues. Last season, the 24-year-old made his professional debut and looked quite comfortable. He spent most of his season at Double-A where he logged 52 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.41 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. He tallied 70 punchouts and served up just 15 free passes. Then, in his first 16 2/3 innings at Triple-A, the southpaw served up 12 earned runs. Fantasy managers should monitor his development as he should open the season at Triple-A. If he can take the next step at Triple-A, he could push for an early-season MLB debut.

Quinn Mathews Strikes Out Three In First Grapefruit League Game

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher prospect Quinn Mathews made his spring debut on Tuesday, tossing two innings of scoreless ball in a 3-2 Grapefruit League loss to the Blue Jays. The southpaw yielded two hits and one walk while striking out three in the outing. The Stanford product was a fourth-round draft pick for the Cardinals in 2023 but didn't see his first professional game action until 2024. The 6-foot-5 hurler began the season at Single-A but advanced all the way to Triple-A by season's end after showing elite strikeout rates at each stop, finishing with 202 strikeouts (35.4 percent K%) over 143 1/3 innings of work. His command faltered a bit when he arrived at Triple-A which likely prevented a late-season call-up in 2024, but a 2025 debut is looking more and more likely. The 24-year-old could be a viable source of Ks whenever he gets the call, so fantasy managers will want to keep an ear to the ground for any rumblings of a major league promotion once the regular season begins, but as it stands now without a rotation spot, he isn't on the draft radar in standard 12-team leagues.

Quinn Mathews Invited To Spring Training

According to the team, St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews is being invited to spring training. Mathews enjoyed a fantastic campaign last summer and is a budding ace in the Cardinals system. The former fourth-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft made his professional debut with Single-A last season. However, the southpaw progressed through the entire pipeline and finished the season by getting a brief taste of Triple-A. The left-handed pitcher looked sharp at Double-A as he held a 2.41 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP with 70 strikeouts across 52 2/3 innings. He struggled in Triple-A, as he allowed 12 runs through 16 frames. However, seeing the 24-year-old progress at that pace in his first professional season is impressive. Earlier this offseason, it was reported that the Cardinals had already begun trade discussions with starting pitchers Erick Fedde and Steven Matz. This could open the door for an early 2025 debut, especially if he can turn the corner at Triple-A.

Quinn Mathews Will Receive Invite To Spring Training

According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Dispatch, starting pitching prospect Quinn Mathews will receive a non-roster invite to Spring Training. This is a great sign, as Mathews could have a great opportunity to make the Opening Day roster. The southpaw is considered one of the top pitching prospects in the sport and was named Baseball America's top pitching prospect of the 2024 season. The 24-year-old opened the season with Single-A and eventually progressed all the way up to Triple-A by August. Across all four levels of the St. Louis system, the Stanford product carried a solid 2.76 ERA and a stellar 0.98 WHIP. He struck out an incredible 202 batters across 143 1/3 innings while giving up just 49 free passes. He spent the most time at Double-A, posting a 2.41 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. Given his elite strikeout upside, fantasy managers in deeper formats should pay close attention to Mathews as he may be a popular late-round target in drafts this offseason.

Quinn Mathews Promoted To Triple-A

St. Louis Cardinals left-handed pitching prospect Quinn Mathews has been promoted from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis. The 23-year-old southpaw starter will join his fourth team of the season after starting 2024 at Single-A Palm Beach. Mathews, the No. 60 overall prospect in baseball and St. Louis' No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is 8-3 on the year with a strong 2.27 ERA in 22 starts and leads all minor-league pitchers with 180 strikeouts in only 126 2/3 innings of work. The Stanford product has held a downright dominant 0.85 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 49 strikeouts with only five walks in his last 31 2/3 innings at Springfield. Mathews is one of the fastest-rising pitching prospects in the game and could spend considerable time in the Cardinal's starting rotation at the big-league level in 2025. Stash him now in dynasty/keeper leagues if he's available.

Quinn Mathews Dominant Again In Latest Start

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews continued his dominion over minor league hitters in his latest start on Saturday for Double-A Springfield. The lefty tossed seven innings of scoreless ball, allowing five hits and no walks while striking out 11 batters. It was the sixth time this season that the southpaw has struck out 11 or more batters (21 starts), now with an elite 36.1% K% and impressive 34:168 BB:K over 119 IP. The former fourth-round pick has ascended three levels of the minors in his first taste of pro ball this season. There's certainly nothing left to prove at Double-A, so perhaps the 23-year-old gets a spot start at Triple-A or the majors down the stretch, but either way, look for him in St. Louis at some point next season.
