Re-signs on minor-league contract
The Cardinals re-signed Naughton (elbow) to a two-year, minor-league contract Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
ANALYSIS
Naughton announced the move himself on his Instagram account and also revealed that he will be sidelined until 2026 after having Tommy John and flexor surgeries on his left elbow in July. That's in addition to the flexor surgery he underwent in June of 2023. The left-handed reliever holds a 4.98 ERA and 48:22 K:BB over 59.2 innings covering parts of three seasons at the major-league level. He will turn 29 in April.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Out of options in 2022
Including Wednesday's roster move, Naughton has been optioned five times this season and cannot be optioned again without being made available on waivers, reports Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.
ANALYSIS
Naughton has split his time between St. Louis and Triple-A Memphis this year, compiling a 4.78 ERA in 32 innings for the Cardinals and a 2.08 ERA in 21.2 innings for the Redbirds. The 26-year-old wouldn't be a likely candidate to be optioned again during the balance of the regular season anyhow, so the organization should be able to avoid having to expose him to waivers. While the lefty has a relatively high ERA, he's only allowed three homers and has a 31:7 K:BB in the majors, making it likely he's given a shot at a full-time role in St. Louis' bullpen next year.
