The Cardinals transferred Zuniga (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
A right forearm strain forced Zuniga onto the IL on Sunday, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially put an end to his season. The 24-year-old righty gave up one run in two innings with the Cardinals, and he logged a 7.63 ERA and 1.72 WHIP through 30.2 frames in Triple-A this season. Mike Siani was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati to fill Zuniga's 40-man roster spot.

Cardinals' Guillermo Zuniga: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned Zuniga to Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Zuniga was up with the Cardinals for just two days during his latest stint in the big leagues, striking out two and giving up one run over one inning in his lone relief appearance.

Cardinals' Guillermo Zuniga: Returns to action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Zuniga (undisclosed) was reinstated from Triple-A Memphis' 7-day injured list Monday and gave up three earned runs on three hits and one walk while recording one out in his return to action Wednesday.
Zuniga had been sidelined for around six weeks with the injury before getting the green light to rejoin the Memphis bullpen this season. Though he was roughed up in his 31-pitch appearance Wednesday, Zuniga retains a spot on the Cardinals' 40-man roster and remains one of the organization's better relief prospects.

Cardinals' Guillermo Zuniga: Moves up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Cardinals recalled Zuniga from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Zuniga will be making his MLB debut whenever he first gets the call out of the Cardinals bullpen. The 24-year-old right-hander had posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB through 8.1 innings of relief this season at Memphis.
Zuniga was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Zuniga signed an MLB contract in December, but has options remaining, so the right-hander will open the season in the International League rather than with the Cards. He could be a bullpen option for St. Louis at some point in 2023.

Cardinals' Guillermo Zuniga: Heading to St. Louis
Rotowire
Zuniga agreed to a major-league contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Zuniga spent last at the Double-A level with the Dodgers, and he's now latched on with the Cardinals. The 24-year-old has yet to see action above Double-A, so he's unlikely to be a significant contributor for St. Louis in 2023.
