Butler (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday. |
Butler wasn't going to be a legitimate option for the club in 2015 after undergoing surgery in late May, so the Cards went ahead and bumped him from the 40-man roster in favor of catcher Cody Stanley. In nine appearances with Triple-A Memphis last season before going down, Butler allowed just one earned run while fanning 13 over 10.2 innings. |
