Scott is not included in the Cardinals' Opening Day roster projection by Katie Woo of The Athletic.
Scott entered camp with seemingly little-to-no shot to make the team, but his performance (.316/.409/.368, four steals) combined with injuries to Tommy Edman (wrist) and Lars Nootbaar (ribs) have put him very much in the conversation. However, with Dylan Carlson also having a good spring and Nootbaar not expected to miss much time, the Cards figure to stick to the original plan and give Scott more seasoning in the minors. The speedy fifth-round pick in 2022 stole 94 bases between High-A Peoria and Double-A Springfield last year, and if he indeed doesn't crack St. Louis' Opening Day roster, he would be in line to begin 2024 at Triple-A Memphis.
