Multiple sources confirmed Thursday that former University of Hawaii second baseman Kolten Wong has been called up by the St. Louis Cardinals and will join the team for today’s game in Chicago.

Wong sat out Thursday night’s game for Triple-A Memphis against Colorado Springs. In 107 games with the Redbirds, Wong hit .303 with 21 doubles, eight triples, 10 homers and 45 RBIs with 20 stolen bases.

He’s the second former Rainbow to be called up to the majors this season.

Knuckleballer Steven Wright, who pitched at UH from 2004-06, made his MLB debut with the Boston Red Sox in April.

Wong was the 22nd overall pick in the 2011 MLB draft after playing three years for the Rainbows, leading the team to two WAC championships and a regional final in 2010.

He played 47 games for Single-A Quad Cities that year before jumping up to Double-A Springfield in 2012, where he hit .287 in 126 games with 23 doubles, nine homers and 52 RBIs.

He started this season at the Triple-A level after getting invited to spring training.

The Cardinals open a three-game series with the Cubs today at Wrigley Field.
