ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have recalled outfielder Tommy Pham from Triple-A Memphis. The Cardinals also optioned outfielder Randal Grichuk to Triple-A on Saturday. The moves were made before St. Louis hosted Texas.

Pham injured his oblique on opening day. He was hitting a combined .250 with four home runs and 19 RBIs in 37 games with Memphis and Double-A Springfield. Grichuk was hitting .206 with eight homers and 27 RBI in 62 games for St. Louis this season.

Also on Saturday the Cardinals signed right-handed pitcher Dakota Hudson, their third first round draft pick (34^th overall) from the 2016 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

Hudson, 21, is a 6-foot-5, 215-pound, college junior, who was 9-5 with a 2.55 ERA in 17 starts for Mississippi State University.  He was a starter for the No. 6 National-Seeded Bulldogs, who fell in the Super Regional to Arizona.

Hudson’s teammate at Mississippi State, right-handed pitcher Austin Sexton (18^th round) was also signed today, along with St. Louis native, RHP Robbie Gordon (36^th round) and seventh-round pick, catcher Andrew Knizner (KIZZ-ner).

The Cardinals have now signed 27 of their 42 draft picks including 10 of 12 players selected in the Top 10 rounds and four non-drafted free agents.  Two pitchers, RHP Connor Jones from Virginia and RHP Zac Gallen from North Carolina, remain as the only players from the Cardinals Top 10 rounds yet to sign.

The Cardinals have until July 15 at 4:00 p.m. CT, to sign players from the 2016 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
