Cesar is a very versatile ballplayer; I saw him play and he was a show. I hope he settles in and finds success in the MLB, because he has talent to spare!

Cuban infielder César Prieto received his third call-up to the Major Leagues from the St. Louis Cardinals on August 4, 2026, replacing Lars Nootbaar.

Despite inconsistent performances during his two previous MLB stints in 2025 and 2026—where he managed just one hit in 23 at-bats—Prieto now aims to capitalize on the solid .294 average and 44 home runs he has accumulated in the minors since moving over from the Baltimore Orioles organization.
