Top prospects Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore head a list of 27 non-roster players invited to spring training by the Cardinals, the team announced Thursday.
The non-roster players will join the 38 players on the 40-man roster, giving the Cardinals a total of 65 players in camp. The first workout for pitchers and catchers will be Feb. 17, with the first full-squad workout scheduled for Feb. 22.
Former first-round selection Delvin Perez was one of seven non-roster infielders invited to camp.
Because of health and safety protocols during the pandemic, the major-league spring training camp will close before the minor-league camp will open in late March.
Here is the list of the non-roster players who will be in spring training with the Cardinals:
Pitchers (11) – Jesus Cruz, Connor Jones, Evan Kruczynski, Matthew Liberatore, Tommy Parsons, Roel Ramirez, Griffin Roberts, Domingo Robles, Zack Thompson, Austin Warner, Garrett Williams.
