Cesar Prieto News: Set for Friday call up

The Cardinals will select Prieto's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Prieto will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game. A previous report had indicated the 26-year-old second baseman would join the team Thursday against the Pirates, but he'll be called up in time for a three-game weekend road series against the Reds instead. Prieto has slashed .296/.358/.453 with 10 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 450 plate appearances with Memphis this season
