ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Matrix Midwest) - The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have claimed right-handed pitcher Zak Kent off waivers from the Texas Rangers.
Kent has been added to their 40-player roster, while infielder Bryan Ramos has been designated for assignment.
The 27-year-old righty is rejoining the Cardinals after first being acquired in 2025 in a waiver claim from Cleveland. Texas had claimed Kent off waivers from the Cardinals on January 9.
He debuted with the Guardians in 2025, posting a 1-0 record with a 4.58 ERA and 16 strikeouts over 17.2 innings pitched.
The Henrico, Va. native has allowed just one home run to 76 total batters faced in the Major Leagues.
