Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Getting second opinion on forearm
Dobbins will receive a second opinion on his injured right forearm Tuesday, Brenden Schaeffer of MLB.com reports.
Dobbins landed on the 15-day injured list last week and remains shut down due to inflammation around his right flexor tendon. It's possible the injury will prevent Dobbins from making it back this season, but more should be known about his status following Tuesday's exam. Dobbins has authored a 3.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB over 54 innings covering eight starts and three relief outings for the Cardinals in 2026.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Remains shut down from throwing
Dobbins has passed strength testing but will not resume a throwing program until the soreness in his right forearm goes away, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Dobbins will also undergo additional testing on his forearm at some point to check his progress. Though the right-hander has been cleared of structural damage, he is dealing with inflammation and discomfort around his flexor tendon. A return before the end of the season for Dobbins has not been ruled out, but it could be a long shot.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Lands on injured list
The Cardinals placed Dobbins on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right forearm tightness.
Dobbins' forearm forced him to make an early exit from his start Friday against Philadelphia, and although he hasn't been diagnosed with any sort of structural issue, the Cardinals will give him time to recover on the injured list. Quinn Mathews was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move to start Saturday's game.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Pulled with forearm tightness
Dobbins was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies with right forearm tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Dobbins gave up three runs over four innings Friday and left the game with a trainer after throwing one pitch in the fifth inning. The Cardinals haven't provided any details regarding the severity of his injury, but more information could come after the game.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Secures third win
Dobbins (3-3) allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out seven over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Sunday.
Dobbins had gone winless over his previous three outings, allowing nine runs (seven earned) in that span. While he wasn't all that sharp -- his four walks were his most since his first outing of the season -- he received plenty of run support from his teammates. Dobbins has posted a 3.42 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 50 innings across 10 games (seven starts) this year. Dobbins is projected to make his next start in Philadelphia.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Matches season high in strikeouts
Dobbins (2-3) took the loss against the Phillies on Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six.
A pair of errors kept two earned runs off Dobbins' ledger in what was a solid start overall by the hurler Monday. The six punchouts matched a season high, and the right-hander has now pitched at least five innings in five consecutive appearances. Dobbins, who has given up more than three runs just one time in nine outings for the Cardinals this year, will take a quality 3.40 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB over 45 innings into his next scheduled start on the road against the Cubs.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Awarded another start Monday
Dobbins is slated to start Monday's game against the Phillies in St. Louis.
After getting demoted to Triple-A Memphis on July 28, Dobbins was recalled just under a week later when the Cardinals opened up a spot for him in the rotation by trading Dustin May to the Brewers ahead of the deadline. Dobbins ended up making his fifth start of the campaign for St. Louis in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees, covering a season-high 6.1 innings while striking out four batters and yielding two earned runs on four hits and three walks. The right-hander should have a chance at sticking around in the Cardinals rotation for the balance of the season, though prospect Quinn Mathews looms as an alternative at the Triple-A level if Dobbins can't get the job done.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Gives up two runs, tagged with loss
Dobbins (2-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 6.1 innings.
Dobbins was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Monday as the Cardinals opted to expand their rotation to six starters, even after trading Dustin May to the Brewers. Dobbins pitched well Tuesday, with his two blemishes coming on solo home runs from Jazz Chisholm and George Lombard in the second and fifth innings, respectively. Unfortunately for Dobbins, he did not receive any run support from his Cardinals teammates in a 2-0 loss. Assuming he stays in St. Louis' rotation, his next start would be lined up for next week at home against the Phillies.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Drawing start Tuesday
Dobbins is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees in New York, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Though they still had five starters in place even after dealing Dustin May to the Brewers on Monday, the Cardinals appear set to at least temporarily expand the rotation to six men with the addition of Dobbins, who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in the aftermath of the trade deadline. Dobbins has previously made four starts and three relief appearances for St. Louis, going 2-1 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB across 33.2 innings.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Summoned from Triple-A
The Cardinals recalled Dobbins from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Dobbins has made four starts and three relief appearances for St. Louis this season, logging a 3.74 ERA an 32:11 K:BB over 33.2 innings. It's unclear at this point whether the Cardinals have a start mapped out for Dobbins or if they plan to make him available in long relief.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Optioned to Triple-A
The Cardinals optioned Dobbins to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
Dobbins gave up four earned runs in 5.1 innings while serving in a piggyback role Monday, and he'll now head back to Triple-A to make room in the bullpen for Peter Strzelecki. Despite a poor showing Monday, Dobbins still owns a 3.74 ERA through 33.2 innings in the majors and could potentially rejoin St. Louis' rotation soon if the Cardinals unload another starter before the trade deadline.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Tosses 5.1 frames in piggyback role
Dobbins allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Monday.
As expected, Dobbins piggybacked starter Matthew Liberatore, who lasted only 3.2 innings while giving up three runs. Dobbins was the slightly more efficient and effective hurler, and he gave St. Louis more depth with 85 pitches to Liberatore's 67, though neither pitcher was particularly impressive. It remains to be seen how Dobbins will be deployed moving forward -- he could continue to piggyback Liberatore, but there's also a possibility he moves into the rotation if Liberatore continues to struggle or if another starter is traded before the deadline.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Piggybacking with Liberatore
Dobbins is expected to piggyback Matthew Liberatore in Monday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
It had seemed as though Dobbins would draw another spot start this week, but instead he will follow Liberatore out of the bullpen in a tandem outing Monday. Dobbins tossed six shutout frames in a start last week against the Angels and holds a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 28.1 innings with St. Louis this season. The righty could receive regular turns in the Cardinals' rotation soon if the club trades Dustin May at the deadline.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Blanks Angels in spot start
Dobbins (2-1) earned the win against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six hits and no walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings.
Dobbins made a spot start and silenced the Angels over six frames, throwing 58 of 86 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs. It marked the first quality start of the campaign for the 26-year-old, who owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 28.1 major-league innings. After being called up prior to Wednesday's game, it's unclear whether he will remain with the Cardinals or return to Triple-A Memphis.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Staying in majors for now
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Dobbins will remain with the major-league club for the time being, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Dobbins tossed six shutout innings Wednesday versus the Angels in what had seemed likely to be just a spot start. He will remain with the big club for now and could get another turn in the rotation next week, though that seems dependent on whether the Cardinals need to use Dobbins' roster spot for a reliever between now and then. A possible trade of Dustin May before the deadline would also open up a rotation spot for Dobbins, who has authored a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 28.1 innings with St. Louis.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Summoned for spot start
The Cardinals recalled Dobbins from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Dobbins will make a spot start Wednesday on the road against the Angels as the Cardinals buy some extra rest for their regular rotation members. The right-hander has logged a 4.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 22.1 innings in five appearances (three starts) with the Cardinals so far this season. Dobbins will likely be sent back down to Memphis following Wednesday's outing.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Expected to be called up Wednesday
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Dobbins is expected to be called up from Triple-A Memphis to start Wednesday's contest against the Angels, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Dobbins will return to the big-league roster after being sent down July 8. The right-hander has posted a 4.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 22.1 innings in five appearances (three starts) with the Cardinals so far this season. With Dobbins coming up for a spot start, the other members of the St. Louis rotation will all be pushed back a day in the pitching schedule.

Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Returned to Triple-A
The Cardinals optioned Dobbins to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
As anticipated, Dobbins will move back to the minors after he was called up Tuesday to serve as the 27th man in the Cardinals' doubleheader with the Brewers. He started the second game of the twin bill, dropping to 1-1 over his five appearances on the season with St. Louis after he struck out four batters and allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks across five innings in the Cardinals' 10-2 loss.
