Andre Pallante - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Decent early in spring Pallante has allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over two innings in Grapefruit League play.

Impact Katie Woo of The Athletic reports manager Oliver Marmol was pleased with Pallante's uptick in velocity in his second appearance. Pallante will pitch for Italy in the World Baseball Classic, and continued strong showings there should solidify his already favorable position as part of the setup mix in the Cardinals' bullpen. He pitched to a 3.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 73:40 K:BB across 108 innings, making 10 of his 47 appearances as a starter in 2022.

2022 MLB Playoffs: Phillies stun Cardinals with ninth-inning rally in Game 1

Earns win over Yankees Pallante (5-4) allowed three hits and two walks over four scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Yankees.

Impact Making his first relief appearance since June 15, Pallante put in an excellent outing to keep the Cardinals in the contest after a lackluster start from Dakota Hudson. Manager Oli Marmol hinted after the game that Hudson's spot in the rotation could be up for grabs, with Pallante the most likely candidate to fill it, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Pallante has excelled in a versatile role this year, logging a 3.03 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 61:29 K:BB across 86 innings in 29 appearances (10 starts). With nothing official yet, the right-hander remains a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. Hudson's spot in the rotation comes up again next week in Colorado, which would likely be a daunting assignment for either pitcher.

Moving to bullpen Pallante will move to the bullpen after the Cardinals acquired Jordan Montgomery and Jose Quintana on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Pallante had his best start of the season Sunday against the Nationals, striking out eight in eight scoreless innings. However, the team thinks he profiles well as a reliever, and his move to the bullpen will allow the Cardinals to monitor his workload down the stretch. Over 28 appearances (10 starts) this year, the right-hander has posted a 3.18 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 82 innings.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fires gem in Washington Pallante (4-4) allowed five hits and a walk over eight shutout innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Nationals.

Impact Pallante never let a runner get past second base in Sunday's dominant victory. He posted a 5.72 in his previous eight outings since his last scoreless appearance June 10. The 23-year-old righty set new career bests with his eight innings and eight punchouts. Pallante will carry a 3.18 ERA into his projected home outing against the Yankees next week.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lasts four innings versus Toronto Pallante tossed four innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Pallante surrendered a two-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero and an RBI single to Matt Chapman in the bottom of the first frame, accounting for all the damage against him in this one. The right-hander was replaced after the fourth inning, leaving the game in a 3-3 tie. Pallante has had a difficult July, producing a 7.85 ERA over four starts during the month. The difficult stretch has his season numbers up to a 3.53 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 51 strikeouts over 74 innings in 27 appearances including nine starts.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Collects third win Pallante (3-4) earned the win during Friday's 7-3 victory over Cincinnati, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Pallante surrendered two runs on three hits in the first inning and another run on three baserunners in the third but retired nine of 10 Reds in the other three frames. The five strikeouts matched a season best for the 23-year-old rookie, though Pallante has struggled through three July starts with 13 runs and 29 baserunners permitted through 14.1 innings. His season numbers are still solid and feature a 3.34 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 47 strikeouts in 70 innings across 26 appearances and eight starts.

JULY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows 10 baserunners Pallante allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four in 5.2 innings in a 4-3 win Sunday over Philadelphia. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Pallante gave up singles to the first three batters he faced but managed to limit the damage to one run in the first. After retiring the side in order in the next two innings, he again allowed three straight singles in the fourth, leading to another run. The final run came on a Kyle Schwarber solo shot to lead off the fifth. In two starts in July, the 23-year-old has allowed 10 runs on 19 hits, including three homers, in 9.1 innings. His next start will likely be this weekend against the Reds.

JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Surrenders seven runs in loss Pallante (3-3) took the loss during Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, allowing seven runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Impact Pallante had his first rough outing as a starter, permitting five runs in the first and another two in the fourth before pulled. The 23-year-old tossed 66 of 96 pitches for strikes with eight of the swinging variety and a healthy five strikeouts -- tying his season high for any appearance. In six starts, Pallante has posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 31.2 innings. He lines up to start again this weekend against Philadelphia.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Strong work in no-decision Pallante allowed two runs on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Wednesday.

Impact Pallante threw 60 of 96 pitches for strikes, though he was able to avoid taking a loss for a fourth straight start. He left the game in line for the win, but Ryan Helsley blew the save in the ninth inning. Pallante is now stretched out fully as a starter, and the Cardinals' injury-plagued rotation means he's likely to remain in that role for a while. He owns a 2.10 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB in 55.2 innings across 23 appearances (five starts) overall. The rookie right-hander is projected for a road start in Atlanta next week.

JUNE 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets no help in loss Pallante (2-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two in six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Cubs.

Impact Pallante has now taken the loss in three straight appearances, though this one can be blamed on the Cardinals' lack of offense. They mustered just seven baserunners (five hits, one walk, one hit batter) while giving Pallante no run support. The rookie right-hander still has a strong 2.03 ERA, but his 1.38 WHIP and 31:21 K:BB remain lackluster through 22 outings (four starts). He's pitched fairly well in his starts to maintain a place in the rotation, with Friday being his longest outing of the season. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Marlins next week.

JUNE 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Handed second straight loss Pallante (2-2) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against Boston.

Impact Pallante served up a solo home run to Trevor Story in the second inning followed by an RBI single from Jackie Bradley in the fifth. He's given up four runs over eight innings in his last two outings, raising his season ERA from 1.04 to 1.69 in the process. Pallante is projected to make his fourth start of the year next week at home against the Cubs.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in relief Pallante (2-1) allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with one strikeout over 2.1 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Pirates.

Impact As expected, Pallante made a relief appearance Wednesday with the return of Jack Flaherty (shoulder) from the injured list. In the seventh inning, Pallante yielded a two-run home run to Bryan Reynolds, which was the last scoring action in the contest. This was the rookie right-hander's first loss in 20 appearances (two starts). He's been effective with a 1.46 ERA, 1.41 WHIP And 25:17 K:BB through 37 innings overall. If the Cardinals stick to their original plans, Wednesday's outing amounted to a between-starts live bullpen session for Pallante, who is expected to be available to start as soon as Sunday versus the Red Sox.

JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed off Wednesday start Pallante won't start Wednesday's game against the Pirates as originally planned and will instead serve as a "bridge" reliever behind Jack Flaherty (shoulder) in that contest, Katie...

Impact Flaherty is forgoing a third rehab start in the minors and instead returning from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but he'll be limited to 60 pitches since he isn't fully stretched out yet, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Though Pallante will work behind Flaherty, the 23-year-old rookie is unlikely to serve as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen. Instead, Pallante is expected to cover no more than one or two innings, which would be the rough equivalent of a between-starts bullpen session. If Pallante is used in that capacity Wednesday, manager Oliver Marmol said the right-hander would then be available to start Sunday in Boston on three days' rest. In the event Pallante is needed to cover more innings than anticipated Wednesday, Miles Mikolas could start Sunday, with Pallante then making his next start Monday or Tuesday in Milwaukee in that scenario.

How the Cardinals' Andre Pallante rocketed into a starting pitcher role The Cardinals had no idea how heavily, and how frequently, they would need to rely on Andre Pallante this season.

'A baseball rat,' Pallante excelling as a starter ST. LOUIS -- As the only rookie on the Cardinals' roster on Opening Day, Andre Pallante quickly became something of an unexpected savior whe...

Earns win Friday Pallante (2-0) pitched 5.1 shutout innings, allowing four hits and two walks with four strikeouts to earn the win Friday over the Reds.

Impact After going 64 pitches last week, Pallante stretched out to 78 pitches (52 strikes) in a strong start Friday. Three of the six baserunners he allowed were in the first inning, but he was able to settle down after the shaky opening frame. Through 34.2 innings, Pallante has pitched to a 1.04 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 19 appearances (two starts). With Jack Flaherty (shoulder) and Steven Matz (shoulder) unlikely to return next week, it seems likely Pallante gets at least one more turn in the rotation -- he lines up for a home start versus the Pirates next week.

JUNE 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another start Pallante will start Friday's game against the Reds in St. Louis.

Impact He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation after taking a no-decision in his first MLB start in the second game of a doubleheader with the Cubs last weekend, when he worked four innings and struck out two while allowing one run on four hits and four walks. Pallante threw only 64 pitches in that outing, and while he should be able to offer more length Friday, the Cardinals could choose to deploy him in tandem with Zack Thompson.

JUNE 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

No-decision in nightcap Pallante didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over four innings. He struck o...

Impact The Cardinals got the win in 10 innings, but Pallante was long gone by then after throwing 64 pitches (36 strikes). The right-hander was making his first start of the season after working at least three innings in each of his prior two appearances, and he should return to a long relief role. Pallante's control remains an issue -- he has a 1.23 ERA through 29.1 innings with a win and four holds, but the 23-year-old rookie's 1.47 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB are shaky.

JUNE 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in nightcap Pallante will start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pallante has been effective as a multi-inning reliever for the Cardinals this year, posting a 1.07 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 25.1 innings over 17 relief appearances. The 23-year-old last pitched when he tossed 3.1 innings against the Padres on Monday to earn his first career win, so he'll be pitching on full rest during his first major-league start.

JUNE 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up win in relief Pallante (1-0) earned the win Monday versus the Padres. He allowed one run on five hits with five strikeouts in 3.1 innings.

Impact Packy Naughton turned in a solid showing as the opener, while Pallante worked in bulk relief Monday. The only damage on Pallante's line was an Austin Nola RBI single in the sixth inning. The right-hander saw his 10.1-inning scoreless streak end, but he's emerged as a capable innings-eater in the Cardinals' bullpen. He has a 1.07 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 18:10 K:BB and four holds through 25.1 innings in 17 appearances.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts two scoreless innings Pallante allowed three hits and struck out two in two scoreless innings during Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Impact Since giving up a run versus Arizona on May 1, Pallante has strung together six scoreless innings in his last six appearances. The reliever has added three holds in that span, as he begins to earn some trust with manager Oli Marmol. Pallante's biggest issue so far has been walks -- he's permitted six walks during his scoreless streak. He's yet to really be punished for the free passes with a 1.02 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB across 17.2 innings this season.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Covers three innings Pallante allowed three hits and struck out one over three scoreless innings in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

Impact Starter Jordan Hicks was struck in the wrist by a comebacker and had to leave the game with two on and no outs in the third inning. Pallante allowed an inherited runner to score on a Starling Marte single, but he was otherwise effective in a multi-inning assignment. Through 9.1 innings this season, Pallante has a 0.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB. Initial tests on Hicks' wrist were encouraging, so it doesn't seem like the Cardinals will need a spot starter for his turn in the rotation this weekend. That's a role Pallante could fill later in the season if necessary, but he'll likely see most of his work out of the bullpen.

APRIL 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches two scoreless innings Pallante allowed two hits and a walk with one strikeout in two scoreless innings versus the Brewers on Friday.

Impact Pallante has yielded six baserunners across three innings in his first two-major league appearances. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage situations until he can keep traffic off the basepaths better. He was solid last season as a starter for Double-A Springfield, where he managed a 3.82 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 82:42 K:BB, so he should continue to see multi-inning assignments while in the big leagues.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Part of Opening Day roster The Cardinals selected Pallante's contract Monday and added him to the Opening Day roster.

Impact The 23-year-old produced 3.2 scoreless innings on the mound this spring, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out four over three appearances. Though he made 22 starts between Triple-A Memphis and Double-A Springfield in 2021, Pallante is expected to serve as a multi-inning arm out of the bullpen for St. Louis.
