Jun 26 2025Pallante (5-4) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante allowed a solo homer in the second inning and issued a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. It was a mixed outing for the 26-year-old, who generated 12 whiffs but threw just 52 strikes on 94 pitches. He'll carry a 4.43 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:29 K:BB across 87.1 innings into a road matchup with the Pirates next week.
Jun 20 2025Pallante (5-3) picked up the win Friday against the Reds, giving up no runs on two hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante flummoxed the Reds in his second scoreless start of the year, submitting 12 whiffs while also inducing 10 groundouts. The 26-year-old right-hander also tied his season low in hits allowed en route to his sixth quality start among 15 outings in 2025. Pallante still owns an uninspiring 4.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB over 82.1 innings, but he does lead the major leagues in groundouts (139) among pitchers. That said, he'll be hard to trust in his next projected appearance versus a Cubs offense that entered Friday with MLB's lowest groundball rate (38.2 percent) for the season.
Jun 14 2025Pallante did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante opened with three scoreless frames before allowing four runs across the fourth and fifth. The 26-year-old induced 12 whiffs on 82 pitches while limiting hard contact, but he's now failed to complete five innings in two of his last three outings. He'll take a 4.83 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 54:26 K:BB across 76.1 innings into a home matchup with the Reds next weekend.
Jun 10 2025Pallante allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Toronto on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was a nice bounce-back performance for Pallante after he allowed seven runs over 4.1 frames in his previous start versus Kansas City. The right-hander recorded his fifth quality start of the campaign and completed six innings for the first time over his past four appearances. Pallante has been inconsistent this season and holds a 4.75 ERA along with a 1.38 WHIP over 13 starts covering 72 innings. He's projected for a road matchup against Milwaukee this weekend.
Jun 3 2025Pallante didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Royals after giving up seven runs on seven hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The seven runs allowed marked a season worst for Pallante, who tends to keep the ball on the ground but fell victim to the long ball Tuesday. Bobby Witt tagged him for a two-run blast in the opening inning, and Nick Loftin added a solo shot in the fifth frame. Pallante posted a 3.22 ERA through his first four starts, but he has a 5.77 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 29:16 K:BB over his subsequent eight. With a tall task against the Dodgers awaiting him in his next scheduled outing, the 26-year-old right-hander won't be a recommended fantasy option in that matchup.
May 27 2025Pallante did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over Baltimore. He allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante worked through three scoreless frames before the Orioles scored an unearned run in the fourth inning. He then served up a three-run shot to Ryan O'Hearn in the fifth. Pallante tied his season high with seven punchouts while generating 12 whiffs on 91 total pitches. He's thrown exactly 5.2 innings in his last two appearances after completing seven frames in each of his previous two starts. Pallante's ERA sits at 4.23 with a lackluster 42:23 K:BB through 61.2 frames. He's lined up for a home start against the Royals next week.
May 21 2025Pallante (4-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 14.1 innings without allowing a walk in his previous two starts, Pallante issued four free passes Wednesday, matching a season high. Through 10 starts (56 innings), the right-hander's pitched to a 4.18 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB. Pallante is currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road in his next outing.
May 16 2025Pallante (4-2) earned the win Friday against the Royals after allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante entered Friday with an MLB-high 75 groundball outs, and he continued to keep the opposition off balance against Kansas City. The right-hander induced 13 more groundouts, also working at least six frames for the fifth time in his last seven outings. Pallante has an ordinary 4.11 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while fanning more than four just twice over his nine appearances (50.1 innings) this season, so his lack of strikeout upside should continue to limit his fantasy appeal in a tough matchup versus the Tigers in his next scheduled start.
May 10 2025Pallante (3-2) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits over 7.1 innings in a 4-2 victory over the Nationals. he struck out seven without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In his longest outing of the season, Pallante took a shutout into the eighth inning before Dylan Crews connected on a two-run homer. The right-hander fired 61 of 91 pitches for strikes in his first win in nearly a month, and he'll take a 4.36 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB through 43.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Kansas City.
May 4 2025Pallante allowed four runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out one over 3.1 innings in the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Pallante's shortest outing of the season and the third time he's failed to complete five innings over seven starts. Pallante is now at a 4.75 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 21:16 K:BB over 36 innings. Michael McGreevy finished off the nightcap with 5.2 innings of one-hit ball out of the bullpen, and if the Cardinals opt to adjust the composition of their rotation, he'd be a candidate to push Pallante out of the mix. If there are no changes to the starters, Pallante is tentatively projected for a road start at Washington in his next outing.
Apr 17 2025Pallante (2-1) took the loss Thursday against the Mets after allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Each of Pallante's four runs allowed came during the second inning, when the Mets knocked him around with five hits. A whopping 12 of Pallante's 18 outs came on groundouts, so he was able to keep the New York bats in check to an extent. The right-hander will take a respectable 3.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB over 22.1 innings (four starts) into his next scheduled start, which is tentatively set for next week in Atlanta.
Apr 11 2025Pallante (2-0) earned the win after allowing two hits and two walks in seven scoreless innings Friday against the Phillies. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante kept the Phillies off balance all throughout the outing, scattering two singles and inducing 11 groundouts despite the tough matchup. While the right-hander does have an uninspiring 13:7 K:BB through 16.1 innings in 2025, Pallante has been effective with a 2.20 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over his three starts. His next start lines up for the middle of next week at home against the Astros, which is a difficult assignment.
Apr 6 2025Pallante did not factor in the decision during a loss to Boston in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings while striking out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante rolled through three shutout frames before David Hamilton put Boston on the board with an RBI single in the fourth inning. Rafael Devers followed that up with a solo shot in the fifth. Pallante threw 53 of 92 pitches for strikes and generated 12 whiffs. He owns a 3.86 ERA with a 9:5 K:BB through 9.1 innings. Pallante's next start is lined up to be a home matchup with the Phillies.
Apr 5 2025Pallante won't pitch against the Red Sox as scheduled Saturday, as the contest has been postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante was slated to take the mound for his second start of the season, but he'll have to wait another day to toe the rubber. Saturday's contest has been rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Pallante is slated to start the first game of the twin bill, per Katie Woo of The Athletic.
Mar 30 2025Pallante (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Twins on Sunday. He struck out three and earned the win. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante gave up one run through three frames before serving up a solo shot to Willi Castro in the fourth inning. By that point, the Cardinals had already given Pallante a heavy cushion by scoring eight runs in the first three innings. He tossed 46 of 78 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs, including seven with his fastball, which averaged 95.2 mph. Pallante is currently in line to start in Boston next weekend.
Mar 7 2025Pallante could be competing for the final spot in the Cardinals' rotation, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante entered camp as a favorite for a starting role, but with Michael McGreevy pitching well and the team leaning toward using Steven Matz in the rotation, it appears there's a chance Pallante could get squeezed out. That still seems highly unlikely, given that the 26-year-old was one of the team's best starters for a large chunk of last season. Pallante's velocity has been down, but the Cardinals don't seem concerned at this stage of the spring.
Mar 4 2025Pallante permitted one hit and struck out a pair over three scoreless frames in Tuesday's Grapefruit League outing against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The bottom line was much improved from Pallante's first spring start when he allowed four runs and walked two in an inning of work. However, Pallante has yet to find the pep on his fastball this spring, with the velocity on his four-seamer down 1.7 mph from last year and the velocity on his sinker down 2.4 mph. It's not overly worrisome yet in early March, but it's something to keep an eye on.
Feb 13 2025Pallante will receive a $2.1 million salary for 2025 after winning his arbitration hearing against the Cardinals on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cardinals had filed for a $1.925 million salary for Pallante, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time. Pallante submitted a weak 9.0 K-BB% over 121.1 innings across his 29 appearances (20 starts) in 2024, but thanks to his ability to keep the ball on the ground and generate weak contact, most of his ERA estimators (4.15 SIERA, 3.89 xFIP, 3.46 xERA) were roughly in line with his actual ERA (3.78). He should have a firm grasp on a full-time rotation spot in 2025, though his poor strikeout rate will likely make him less valuable in fantasy leagues than in real life.
Sep 28 2024Pallante allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante worked in and out of trouble Saturday but still managed to complete five innings in his ninth straight start. Pallante has closed the season strong with a 2.98 ERA over those last nine starts. The 26-year-old has made a strong case to be a key piece to the Cardinals pitching staff with a 3.78 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 121.1 innings this season.
Sep 23 2024Pallante (8-8) yielded one run on a hit and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out four and earning a win against Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante kept the Guardians off the board through five innings before finally coughing up a run in the sixth. It was his second straight seven-inning performance after failing to complete six frames in each of his previous three outings. He registered a 13:3 K:BB while allowing only one run and earning a pair of wins in his last two starts. Pallante lowered his season ERA to 3.71 with a 90:48 K:BB through 116.1 innings. He's scheduled to wrap up his 2024 season with a start in San Francisco this weekend.
Sep 16 2024Pallante (7-8) got the win Monday against the Pirates. He allowed four hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante was stellar on Monday as he shut down the Pirates over seven innings, his second career start of seven or more shutout innings. Pallante also recorded a career high nine strikeouts in the process. The 25-year-old has been a serviceable option for the Cardinals since being inserted into the rotation on May 29. He's pitched to a 3.62 ERA in 99.1 innings as a starter this season.
Sep 10 2024Pallante (6-8) allowed three runs on six hits and five walks while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante has issued five walks in back-to-back starts, and he's allowed multiple walks in each of his last nine starts. Over the longer span, he's given up 24 runs (23 earned) across 51 innings while surrendering just three home runs. Despite the command troubles, Pallante has maintained a 4.13 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 77:45 K:BB across 102.1 innings over 26 appearances (17 starts) in the majors this year. If the Cardinals stick with a six-man rotation into next week, Pallante is projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.
Sep 2 2024Pallante took the loss Monday against Milwaukee, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks with three strikeouts across five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante issued a season-high five walks Monday and failed to pitch into the sixth inning after doing so in four straight starts. It was his first time allowing multiple home runs in an appearance this season, giving up a three-run shot to Willy Adames in the first and a two-run homer to Rhys Hoskins in the fourth. Since the start of August, Pallante has a 4.11 ERA with a 22:17 K:BB across 35 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds next time out.
Aug 28 2024Pallante allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante has allowed no more than two runs in each of his last four starts. In that span, he's given up seven runs (six earned) with a 17:10 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He's been effective as a starter this year, pitching to a 3.50 ERA over 82.1 innings across his 14 starts. Overall, he has a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 68:35 K:BB through 92.1 innings. Steven Matz (back) may be an option for the Cardinals' rotation next week, but the team has considered moving to a six-man rotation in September, so Pallante may still be used as a starter to finish the campaign.
Aug 24 2024Pallante (6-6) picked up the win in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Twins, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It looked like it might be a short night for Pallante when four of the first five Minnesota batters reached base in the second inning, but the right-hander put out the fire and then didn't let another runner get into scoring position, retiring the last 13 batters he faced. Pallante has a 3.31 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB through 35.1 innings since the All-Star break, but with Lance Lynn (knee) closing in on a return from the IL, his time in the rotation could be drawing to a close. If he gets another turn, Pallante lines up to face the Padres at home next week.
Aug 18 2024Pallante (5-6) picked up the win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante held his own against a talented Dodgers lineup despite allowing the leadoff man to reach in four of his seven innings of work. The right-hander surrendered one run in the first and another in the fifth on a solo shot from Shohei Ohtani, but he was able to hang on for his fifth win of the season and his first since June 28 against the Reds. Pallante has now allowed three or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, though he's also walked multiple batters in five straight. In the month of August he holds a 4.15 ERA to go along with an 11:8 K:BB.
Aug 10 2024Pallante allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante was clinging to a one-run lead entering the sixth inning and retired the first two batters in that frame before issuing a walk and surrendering a single. He was subsequently relieved by Ryan Fernandez, who promptly served up a Freddy Fermin single that tied the game and eliminated Pallante from contention for a victory. Despite issuing a season-high four walks, Pallante bounced back pretty well from the five-run, 4.2-frame clunker he put up in his previous start, and he'll likely remain in the rotation until Lance Lynn (knee) is ready to return -- though that might not be very far off.
Aug 5 2024Pallante (4-6) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante worked in and out of trouble over the first four frames on Monday, only giving up one run before running into a buzzsaw in the fifth that was capped by a three-run double by Tyrone Taylor. Pallante had pitched well since joining the rotation in late May, posting a 3.61 ERA over 52.1 frames covering 10 starts, but Monday's outing was his fourth start in that span in which he allows four runs or more. He should get more opportunities to start as long as Lance Lynn remains out, but his days as a starter could end when Lynn returns to the fold. 
Jul 31 2024Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Pallante will remain in the rotation after Lance Lynn (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list, John Denton of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante had appeared to be the most likely candidate to lose his rotation spot following the Cardinals' acquisition of Erick Fedde earlier in the week, but Lynn's knee injury gives Pallante a reprieve. The 25-year-old Pallante has pitched well since joining the rotation in late May, posting a 3.61 ERA and 43:18 K:BB over 52.1 frames covering 10 starts. He could still be a candidate to shift to the bullpen when Lynn returns, but for now, Pallante will continue getting regular turns in the St. Louis rotation.
Jul 29 2024Pallante (4-5) took the loss Monday against Texas, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old entered this outing on a roll, pitching to a 2.79 ERA across 19.1 innings in three July starts, but failed to reach the sixth for the first time this month. Pallante managed to limit the damage in this 92-pitch performance as he didn't allow a homer for the sixth time in 10 games started. However, his role in the St. Louis rotation is murky as the Cardinals acquired Erick Fedde on Monday, likely pushing Pallante into the bullpen as a middle reliever.
Jul 22 2024Pallante did not factor into the decision Monday against the Pirates, allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante was excellent in this one, firing six strong innings to earn his second quality start of the season. Unfortunately for Pallante, the Cardinals mustered just one run, resulting in a no-decision for the right-hander. The 25-year-old started the season as a relief pitcher but has filled in admirably as a starter due to injury. In nine starts, Pallante has logged a 3.42 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 38:16 K:BB across 47.1 innings. He is currently lined up for a home start against the Rangers his next time out.
Jul 10 2024Pallante (4-4) took the loss against Kansas City in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 6.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante cruised through four scoreless, one-hit frames before the Royals struck for three runs on four hits in the fifth. The right-hander was allowed to return for the sixth but was pulled after giving up a tiebreaking solo homer to Salvador Perez with one out. Pallante was consequently stuck with the loss, as St. Louis was unable to catch up. Despite the defeat, Pallante recorded his second-longest outing of the campaign while recording exactly five punchouts for his fourth straight appearance.
Jul 9 2024Pallante and the Cardinals won't face the Royals on Tuesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The contest will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Wednesday. Pallante will be pushed back a day to start one of the two games of the twin bill and is no longer in line for a two-start week.
Jul 4 2024Pallante came away with a no-decision in Thursday's win over the Pirates. He allowed one run in seven innings, giving up four hits and striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander gave up a solo home run to Bryan Reynolds in the fourth, which turned out to be Pallante's only hiccup Thursday. For the third time in his career and the first this season, he went at least seven innings in a start. He's been a dependable option for the Cardinals since being inserted into the rotation in May, pitching to a 3.34 ERA over seven starts. Outside of his starts versus the Astros and Giants, in which he gave up a combined 11 earned runs, Pallante has only given up two earned runs in his other five starts this season.
Jun 28 2024Pallante (4-3) allowed four hits and three walks over 5.1 shutout frames Friday, striking out five and earning a win over Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante worked around a few jams to keep the Reds off the board. The Cardinals would go on to win 1-0, so his scoreless performance was much-needed. Since moving into the starting rotation, Pallante has produced a 3.86 ERA with a 25:13 K:BB in six starts. His season ERA dropped to 4.50 through 38 innings. Pallante's next start is currently lined up to be in Pittsburgh.
Jun 21 2024Pallante (3-3) picked up the win over the Giants on Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante cruised through the first two innings before failing to retire four of the first five batters he faced in the third, leading to three runs coming home for San Francisco. The right-hander would get tagged for another two runs in the sixth, marking the second time in his last four that he's coughed up at least five runs. Pallante also matched his season high with three walks and failed to make it through six innings for the fourth consecutive outing. Despite those struggles, he's now won three of his last five starts.
Jun 15 2024Pallante (2-3) took the loss Saturday, giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits over 3.1 innings as the Cardinals were downed 5-1 by the Cubs. He struck out four without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander didn't pitch badly, blanking Chicago through three innings, but Pallante got lifted after 59 pitches (40 strikes) with two runners on base in the fourth and had to watch Chris Roycroft let them both come around to score. Pallante has been effective in three of four outings since moving into the rotation, posting a 3.64 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB through 17.1 innings over that stretch. He lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Giants.
Jun 9 2024Pallante (2-2) allowed three hits and a walk over five scoreless frames Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante never found himself in too much trouble as he cruised to a win Sunday. He fired 45 of 68 pitches for strikes, including 13 whiffs. That matched his total swinging strikes generated over his previous 14 MLB innings entering Sunday's start. Since rejoining the MLB roster, Pallante has gone 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA, though all his earned runs came in one appearance. He's currently slated to make his next start on the road against the Cubs.
Jun 4 2024Pallante (1-2) allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante dazzled in his first start of the season with six scoreless innings versus the Reds, but the Astros were able to hit him harder. They put up a pair of runs on groundouts in the first inning before rallying for four more runs -- including a three-run blast by Yainer Diaz -- in the third. Pallante is now at a 6.16 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 11:11 K:BB over 19 innings across 11 appearances (two starts) this season. The Cardinals continue to struggle to fill the No. 5 spot in their rotation while Steven Matz (back) is out, though Pallante has been their best option so far. If he stays in the rotation, Pallante is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies.
May 31 2024Manager Oli Marmol confirmed Friday that Pallante will be the Cardinals' starting pitcher Tuesday against Houston,John Denton of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante fired six scoreless frames Wednesday against the Reds, a start impressive enough to warrant another turn in the rotation. He'll face an Astros lineup that's been significantly more productive than Cincinnati's, but Pallante should warrant some streaming appeal after his strong starting debut.
May 29 2024Pallante (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Reds, allowing three hits and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his first big-league start since 2022, Pallante was sharp Wednesday, blanking Cincinnati over six innings in the winning effort. The 25-year-old right-hander made nine appearances out of the bullpen in St. Louis this year, struggling to a 6.30 ERA over 10 innings, though he was solid in four starts with Triple-A Memphis, allowing just four earned runs in 16.1 innings. Pallante certainly did enough to warrant another turn in the Cards' rotation -- he'd currently line up for a road matchup with the Astros early next week.
May 28 2024Pallante is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante is likely to make his first big-league start since 2022 on Wednesday. However, manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that he wouldn't name a starter until after Tuesday's game, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Pallante has made three starts at the Triple-A level this season but hasn't gone longer than five frames in any of them, owning a 2.20 ERA and a 9:13 K:BB across 16.1 total innings.
May 26 2024The Cardinals recalled Pallante from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move corresponds with Nick Robertson being placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Before being sent down to the minors April 21, Pallante appeared in nine games for the Cardinals, registering a 6.30 ERA and 1.90 WHIP across 10 frames. The 25-year-old right-hander could be used as a spot starter for Wednesday's game against the Reds, per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
May 20 2024Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Pallante is a candidate to start Saturday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cards are moving Matthew Liberatore back to the bullpen after trying him for a few starts, so they have an opening due to Steven Matz (back) still being on the mend. Pallante hasn't started a game in the majors since 2022 but has been getting stretched back out at Triple-A Memphis. His results have been mixed, as he's managed a 2.20 ERA but also an ugly 9:13 K:BB over 16.1 frames. Zack Thompson is the other main candidate to draw Saturday's start.
Apr 21 2024The Cardinals optioned Pallante to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In his last outing Saturday against the Brewers, Pallante gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk. He has a 6.30 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB over 10 innings to start the season. St. Louis recalled right-hander Nick Robertson in a corresponding move.
Apr 10 2024Pallante (0-1) took the loss versus the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while failing to record an out. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante has served in a low-leverage role so far, picking up one hold over six appearances. He's given up at least one run in three of those games, and he had his worst outing of the season Wednesday. He's now given up five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings this season. The Cardinals aren't short on late-inning options, so Pallante is likely to stay in middle relief.
Mar 4 2024Pallante has pitched three scoreless innings over three appearances in Grapefruit League play. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two. Pallante struggled to a 4.76 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 43:30 K:BB over 62 relief appearances in 2023 after splitting time between the rotation and bullpen in 2022. Pallante added 13 holds last year, but his poor play saw him in a low-leverage role to end the campaign. He'll be looking to get back into the late-innings mix in a crowded bullpen competition for the Cardinals.
Sep 30 2023Pallante allowed one run on four hits over one inning during Saturday's 15-6 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante allowed five runs over 13.2 innings in September, an improvement on the 12 runs (11 earned) he allowed in 13.2 innings during August. The right-hander has seen some high-leverage work in 2023, earning 13 holds, but just four of those have come since the start of August as he's worked in more of a middle-relief assignment. Pallante is at a 4.76 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 43:30 K:BB over 68 innings this season, a significant downturn from the 3.17 ERA he recorded in 108 innings in 2022.
Aug 30 2023Pallante (4-1) allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned the win Wednesday over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante erased the hit with a double play, keeping the Cardinals within a run of the Padres in the ninth inning. Tommy Edman then delivered a walk-off two-run home run. This was just the fifth scoreless outing in 12 appearances in August for Pallante, who has still held onto a somewhat high-leverage role despite his lackluster recent performance. The right-hander has a 5.13 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 39:24 K:BB with 11 holds and five blown saves over 54.1 innings this season. With Ryan Helsley (forearm) nearing a return, Pallante could soon find himself in more of a middle-relief role.
Jul 27 2023Pallante (3-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante has had a rough July, allowing seven runs over 8.2 innings this month. The right-hander has been scored on in four of his eight appearances in that span, but he was able to emerge with his first win since May 13. He's at a 4.78 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 31:20 K:BB through 37.2 innings overall. Pallante has added nine holds and five blown saves, though he could move up the leverage ladder a bit if Jordan Hicks is traded before Tuesday's deadline. Giovanny Gallegos would have the most to gain in that scenario.
Jul 15 2023Pallante will open Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington, John Denton of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Friday's game was suspended during the third inning, Pallante will take the mound once action resumes Saturday. The 24-year-old righty has pitched at least two innings just once this season, so he'll presumably be relieved relatively quickly.
Jul 3 2023Pallante (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one without walking a batter over one inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante allowed an inherited runner to score the tying run, then gave up another run in the seventh inning in relief of Miles Mikolas. Over 9.1 innings in July, Pallante was tagged for four runs on eight hits and eight walks. He's been fortunate to avoid taking a loss prior to Monday, as he has an uninspiring 4.11 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB through 30.2 big-league innings this season. The right-hander has added eight holds and three blown saves -- he's seen more high-leverage work with Ryan Helsley (forearm) on the injured list.
May 14 2023Pallante (2-0) allowed a hit and struck out one over one scoreless inning in Saturday's 4-3 win against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cardinals produced a comeback win for the second game in a row, and Pallante was the beneficiary after their three-run rally in the ninth inning. It's been mixed results for Pallante since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. He has given up a run in 4.1 innings while earning a win, a hold and a blown save over three appearances. The right-hander has a 5.68 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 12.2 innings overall as a middle reliever this season.
May 9 2023The Cardinals recalled Pallante from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pallante pitched well during his three-week stay at Memphis and will now look to get back to his 2022 form. He had surrendered seven earned runs on 12 hits and four walks over 8.1 innings this season with St. Louis prior to his mid-April demotion.
