| 7/12/25 | Starter Matthew Liberatore heads into break with areas to build on: Cardinals Extra. As he went through spring training earlier this year, Cardinals lefty Matthew Liberatore treated his build-up with the possibility of being used as a starter. When one did and Liberatore, a starter through his path in the minors, was announced as a member of the Cardinals' opening day rotation, his preparation allowed him a smoother transition into what has been a lesson-filled first half of the season. “I think there are a lot of things that I did well in this first half, and I also think there are some things that I didn't do so well in this first half, especially towards the end here,” Liberatore said on Saturday morning after making his final start before the All-Star break.
