The St. Louis Cardinals called up second baseman Daniel Descaiso from Triple-A, and in order to make room on the 40-man roster, the team designated left-handed pitcher Evan MacLane for assignment, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The Cardinals also called up 3B/OF Joe Mather, 1B Mark Hamilton, right-handed pitcher P.J. Walters and outfielder Allen Craig.

They complement what we’re trying to do over the last couple weeks,” manager Tony La Russa said. “All had solid years. All have something that they can add. … Everybody is a little different. They add something to us.”
