After spending eight years in the minors, it appears that Marcus Hatley will finally get a chance to pitch in the bigs. He has been promoted by the Cardinals to take the place of shelved reliever Matt Belisle.
The 27-year-old Hatley has been lights-out this season. He is 4-2 with a 1.67 ERA and just two home runs allowed in 37 2/3 innings.
