Welcome to an inevitably wild weekend at Wrigley. The Cardinals packed for it. As they brace themselves for a four-day, five-game visit to Wrigley Field, joining the Cardinals at the team hotel on Thursday were pitchers Jake Woodford and Zack Thompson. Woodford would be eligible to be the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader. Thompson is a candidate to start that game in what would be his major-league debut. The Cardinals' first-round pick in 2019 draft has been strong in Class AAA, pairing there with Thursday's starter Matthew Liberatore. They are the top two left-handed pitching prospects in the Cardinals' organization. If he does not start Saturday, Thompson could yet contribute to the Cardinals as a reliever. He has a 97-mph fastball and a strong breaking ball that would be a fit for the Cardinals' bullpen if they continue to search for consistent left-handed relief. Woodford and Thompson are technically on the taxi squad for the series and cannot be at the ballpark as the four-day, five-game series opens. [/QUOTE]
