The St. Louis Cardinals activated right-hander Drew VerHagen from the injured list Saturday and optioned right-hander Kyle Leahy to Triple-A Memphis.

VerHagen, 32, has not appeared in a game since July 1 because of a hip impingement.

He was 4-0 with a 4.78 ERA in 35 relief appearances this season. He is 17-11 with a 5.19 ERA in 181 career outings (eight starts) with the Detroit Tigers (2014-19) and Cardinals.

Leahy, 26, made his major league debut on July 7 and was 0-1 with a 21.60 ERA in three relief outings for the Cardinals.
