Player Outlook
Keynan Middleton was a quality middle reliever for the Yankees and White Sox last season, maintaining a 3.38 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 50.2 innings -- his heaviest workload in the majors since 2017. He's unlikely to factor into the saves picture after signing with the Cardinals, but he should bolster the middle of the bullpen.

  • Cardinals' Keynan Middleton: Placed on IL

    The Cardinals placed Middleton on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right forearm strain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. Middleton has been shut down from throwing since March 16, and although he's slated to begin his throwing progression soon, his absence will officially extend into the regular season. An exact timetable for the right-hander's return is unclear, but a better picture should emerge as he gets further along in his recovery process.

  • Cardinals' Keynan Middleton: Dealing with right forearm strain

    Manager Oli Marmol said Saturday that Middleton will be shut down for 10 days due to a right forearm strain, John Denton of MLB.com reports. It's unclear when Middleton picked up the injury, but he won't be in action for the next 10 days and will start the regular season on the injured list. Middleton joined the Cardinals on a one-year, $6 million contract in February after splitting last season between the White Sox and Yankees. The right-hander posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 64:23 K:BB over 50.2 innings in 2023.

  • Cardinals' Keynan Middleton: Available in relief Monday

    Middleton (personal) is listed among the Cardinals' available relievers for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. While it's unclear if St. Louis plans on having Middleton work behind starter Miles Mikolas on Monday, the fact that Middleton is on the lineup card is an indication that he's reported back to camp after taking some time away from the Cardinals late last week to tend to a personal matter.

  • Cardinals' Keynan Middleton: Away from camp

    Middleton left the Cardinals' camp Thursday to watch his brother play in Oregon's state basketball tournament, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Middleton has served as a part-time coach for his brother's team and arranged for his absence when he signed with the Cardinals in the offseason. He is expected to return to camp Sunday. The 30-year-old reliever has thrown two scoreless innings this spring with one strikeout and is in line to serve in middle relief for the Cardinals in 2024.

  • Cardinals' Keynan Middleton: Set for live session

    Middleton (illness) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Middleton was a late arrival to camp after he battled a stomach bug last week, but the fact that he's taking the mound to face hitters Wednesday suggests he's overcome the illness. After signing a one-year, $5 million contract in free agency, Middleton is projected to be a key part of the late-inning bridge to closer Ryan Helsley in 2024.

    Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak saied Wednesday that Middleton isn't in Cardinals camp due to a stomach bug, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

  • Yankees' Keynan Middleton: Traded to Bronx

    The Yankees acquired Middleton from the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Juan Carela, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. It's a rather underwhelming move in what has been a quiet deadline for the Yankees, but Middleton should be a solid option in middle relief over the final few months of the season. The 29-year-old right-hander was sporting a 3.96 ERA and 47:16 K:BB through 36.1 innings this season with Chicago.

  • White Sox's Keynan Middleton: Promotion official

    The White Sox selected Middleton's contract from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of Monday's game against the Twins. He'll be joining the bullpen as a replacement for Joe Kelly (groin), whom the White Sox placed on the 15-day injured list. A veteran of 154 career big-league appearances, Middleton earned the call-up after a strong start to the season at Charlotte, where he struck out three and allowed three baserunners over three scoreless innings.

  • White Sox's Keynan Middleton: Heads to MiLB camp

    Middleton was reassigned to minor-league camp by the White Sox on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Middleton inked a minor-league contract back in January but was unable to earn himself a spot on the Opening Day roster. He'll serve as bullpen depth after making 18 appearances a season ago with the Diamondbacks, posting a 5.29 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with a 15:3 K:BB across 17 frames.

  • White Sox's Keynan Middleton: Links up with ChiSox

    Middleton (toe) signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Sunday. Middleton is moving on to a new organization after splitting the 2022 campaign with the Diamondbacks and their Triple-A affiliate in Reno. Before missing the final three weeks of the season with a sprained left big toe, Middleton posted a 5.29 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB in 17 innings with Arizona. Presumably back to full health, Middleton could get the chance to compete for a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen, but he's more likely to open the campaign at Triple-A Charlotte.

  • Diamondbacks' Keynan Middleton: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    Arizona outrighted Middleton (toe) to Triple-A Reno on Nov. 3.

He finished the season on the 15-day injured list with a sprained left big toe, but the injury shouldn't be anything that affects his availability for spring training.

  • Diamondbacks' Keynan Middleton: Out with toe sprain

    Middleton was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with a sprained left big toe.

  • Diamondbacks' Keynan Middleton: Reinstated from injured list

    Middleton (ankle) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Thursday. Middleton was sidelined for just over a month due to a right ankle strain, but he began a rehab assignment in late August and struck out nine in four scoreless innings over four minor-league appearances. The right-hander should serve mainly as a middle reliever now that he's been deemed fully healthy.
