Cardinals' Jose Fermin: On bench Saturday
Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Fermin will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Friday's series opener. Blaze Jordan will get the nod at third base and bat eighth.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Settling in to regular role
Fermin will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Brewers.
It's the eighth consecutive start for Fermin, who is 8-for-26 with one home run and three doubles over that stretch. The start is also Fermin's fourth straight at third base versus a right-hander, as he seems to have inched past Blaze Jordan as the Cardinals' preferred option at the hot corner.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Homer in win
Fermin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win versus the Brewers.
Fermin smashed a homer off Kyle Harrison in the fourth inning to give St. Louis the 3-0 lead. After a strong June during which he hit .321 with six RBIs and three stolen bases in 18 contests, the super-utility man has started the last seven games. However, it's worth noting that the Cardinals faced a left-handed starting pitcher in five of those contests, so Fermin should still be viewed as a short-side platoon player for now.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Nabbing third straight start
Fermin will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Fermin will claim his third consecutive start -- and his second in a row at third base -- after going 3-for-9 with two doubles, one RBI and one run over the first two contests of the series. With rookie Blaze Jordan (.642 OPS) offering middling production at the hot corner since being promoted from Triple-A Memphis on June 12, Fermin has a path to unseating him atop the depth chart. The 27-year-old hasn't provided much power (.398 SLG) or speed (three steals) while logging 144 plate appearances this season, but Fermin's been able to maintain a solid .271 batting average with a strong 13.9 percent strikeout rate.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Homer, steal in loss
Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Fermin stayed in the lineup for a second straight game as the Cardinals faced a left-handed pitcher. While his playing time has remained limited to short-side platoon duties most of the time, Fermin has done well in June. He's batting .364 (16-for-44) over 15 games this month, a span that includes all three of his steals this year. The utility man is hitting .277 with a .730 OPS, three homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and five doubles over 122 plate appearances this season, but he has no path to a more prominent role yet.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Claims second straight start
Fermin went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Reds.
After going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs while starting at third base in Saturday's 6-5 win, Fermin remained on the left side of the diamond for the series finale, this time filling in at shortstop for a resting Masyn Winn. Fermin is now slashing an acceptable .250/.312/.381 over 93 plate appearances on the season, but it's difficult to envision him moving out of a utility role unless St. Louis is hit hard by injuries in the infield or outfield.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Scratched from Monday's lineup
Fermin has been scratched from the Cardinals' lineup against the Nationals on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fermin was initially slated to start in left field and bat eighth. However, Masyn Winn (hip) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence, so the Cardinals have elected to shift Thomas Saggese from shortstop to left field while moving Fermin to the bench. Fermin has appeared in just two regular-season games in 2026, with his lone start taking place Friday against the Tigers.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Slated for playing time in LF
Fermin is among those in the mix for starts in left field while Lars Nootbaar (heels) is sidelined, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fermin is an infielder by trade but has played a bit in the outfield in the majors and at the Triple-A level. The 26-year-old will vie for playing time in left field with Nathan Church and Thomas Saggese. Church is the lone left-handed hitter of the three and also the only traditional outfielder, so he likely enters the season at the top of the pecking order. However, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol has said he does not plan to employ a strict platoon at the position.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Will get look in outfield
Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Saturday that the signing of Ramon Urias could lead to more playing time in the outfield for Fermin, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.
Fermin is an infielder by trade, but he's seen a bit of action in the outfield in the majors and at the Triple-A level. The 26-year-old slashed .283/.377/.417 in 70 appearances with the big club and .300/.428/.485 with a 45:25 BB:K at Triple-A Memphis in 2025. Fermin could see more of an opportunity at the big-league level in 2026 as the Cardinals go through a rebuild.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Taken out of lineup
Fermin was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Fermin was initially penciled in to start at second base for the injured Brendan Donovan (groin), but the latter was cleared to play shortly before Tuesday's contest and took Fermin's place in the lineup. The 26-year-old has done well while serving as infield depth this season, slashing .315/.403/.463 with nine RBI, four runs scored and two steals through 63 plate appearances.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Back in big leagues
The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
Fermin is grabbing the roster spot that opened up with Willson Contreras (shoulder) landing on the injured list. He's slashed .298/.389/.404 in limited action this season and will operate as a reserve infielder down the stretch.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Demoted with Arenado returning
The Cardinals optioned Fermin to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
With St. Louis bringing back Nolan Arenado (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list, Fermin was an expendable piece in the Cardinals infield. After receiving a promotion from Memphis on Saturday, Fermin appeared in one of the Cardinals' final two games of the series in Milwaukee over the weekend, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Swipes base in win
Fermin went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and one RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Brewers.
The St. Louis infielder tallied his second steal of the season, taking second off Milwaukee starter Jose Quintana in the second inning. Fermin was subsequently caught stealing when trying to nab home later in the frame. Fermin, who is now slashing .298/.389/.404 in 55 total plate appearances, is in a bench role currently for the Cardinals. He could become an intriguing fantasy option for batting average and speed since he hit .305 with 20 steals in 289 Triple-A plate appearances this season.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Set to be recalled
Fermin will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday to take the roster spot vacated by Masyn Winn (knee), Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fermin was just sent down Friday to accommodate the return of Brendan Donovan, but he'll rejoin the roster a day later after the Cardinals decided to shut Winn down for the season. While Fermin could see the occasional rep at shortstop while Winn is shelved, he'll likely operate mostly as a reserve infielder in the final weeks.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Officially called up
The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
This move had been anticipated after Masyn Winn was shut down for the season Friday due to a knee injury. Fermin was just optioned to Memphis on Friday, and he didn't get into any games with the Redbirds during his latest (and briefest) time on their roster. Now that Fermin is back with the Cardinals, he'll likely serve as a utility infielder.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Sent to Triple-A
The Cardinals optioned Fermin to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
With Brendan Donovan (groin) back from the injured list and batting leadoff Friday in Milwaukee, Fermin will head back to Memphis. Fermin has slashed .273/.360/.386 with one home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a 6:7 BB:K across 51 plate appearances at the big-league level this season.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Back to bench after three starts
Fermin is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Seattle.
Fermin started each of the previous three games -- two at third base and one at second base -- while Nolan Gorman shifted to first base to cover for the suspended Willson Contreras. However, Alec Burleson (wrist) is back from the 10-day injured list and will handle first base Monday. Fermin has fared well in his limited chances this season, slashing .278/.381/.417 with one home run and a 6:6 K:BB over 20 contests.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Summoned to big leagues
The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Fermin will provide some infield depth while Nolan Arenado (shoulder) and Brendan Donovan (groin) are shelved. The 26-year-old has hit well in his brief opportunities in the majors this season, going 7-for-20 with a 3:2 K:BB.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Optioned to Memphis
The Cardinals optioned Fermin to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Fermin will be sent back to the minors following Lars Nootbaar's (ribs) return from the injured list. Fermin has gone 7-for-20 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored through 12 games in the majors this season and also boasts a .902 OPS through 252 Triple-A plate appearances. His productive bat and versatile glove make him a candidate to return to St. Louis when rosters expand in September.

Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Cranks first big-league homer
Fermin went 1-for-4 with a go-ahead, two-run home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
Making his first major-league start in left field and just his second career start at any outfield position, Fermin broke a 3-3 tie with a two-run blast off of Jesse Chavez in the bottom of the sixth inning. It was the first major-league home run in the career of Fermin, who was playing his 10th game this season and 76th game of his career. Fermin is traditionally an infielder, but he could some starts in the corner outfield spots versus lefties while Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Jordan Walker (appendix) are out.
