Kodi Whitley: Released by St. Louis

Whitley was released by the Cardinals on Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Whitley showed some promise in the St. Louis bullpen between 2020-2021, but he struggled at the major-league level last year and posted a rough 5.19 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 43.1 innings of relief this season at Triple-A Memphis. The 28-year-old right-hander will look to latch on with a new organization.
