The St. Louis Cardinals signed veteran left-handed pitcher Wade LeBlanc, who will join the team for Thursday night's series-opening game in Atlanta, the team announced.
LeBlanc, 36, boasts a 13-year career in the majors that saw him pitch for eight different teams. He is 34-41 with a 4.73 ERA across 121 career starts and is 12-7 with a 4.23 ERA in 125 relief appearances.
The Cardinals optioned right-handed pitcher Seth Elledge and placed infielder Max Moroff on the 60-day injured list (left shoulder) to make room for LeBlanc on the roster.
LeBlanc most recently pitched for the Texas Rangers' Triple-A affiliate. He also appeared in six games for the Baltimore Orioles this season, including one start.
