Misiewicz was designated for assignment last week and the Cardinals took advantage of the opportunity.

Last season, split between the Seattle Mariners and the Royals, Misiewicz posted a 4.34 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts over 29 innings of work.

For his career, spanning three seasons, the twenty-eight-year-old holds a 4.43 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 105 strikeouts across 103.2 innings. 

He's found most of his success against left-handed batters so the Cardinals will likely utilize him in that fashion.
