Returns to St. Louis The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Graceffo owns a 6.62 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 17.2 innings with the Cardinals this season, but he's given up just one run in 7.1 frames since being sent to Triple-A on June 23. His recent turnaround will afford him another chance with the big club, and he'll replace Matt Svanson in St. Louis' bullpen.

Joins big-league bullpen The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Impact Graceffo will provide the Cardinals with some extra coverage in the bullpen for Sunday's series finale against the Reds after St. Louis burned through five relievers in Saturday's 6-5 win in 11 innings. After previously beginning the season as a starter at Triple-A, Graceffo transitioned to the bullpen upon returning to Memphis on May 31 following a three-week stint in the big leagues. Over his nine relief outings with Memphis, Graceffo supplied a 3.46 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 13 innings.

Impact All four of Graceffo's appearances this season at Memphis have been as a starting pitcher, but all nine outings in the majors in 2025 have come in relief. While the team hasn't committed to a permanent move to the bullpen for Graceffo, it's the role he'll work in for now. The 25-year-old has posted a 7.47 ERA and 13:4 K:BB over 15.2 frames with the big club this season.

Optioned to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Graceffo has struggled mightily in the big leagues this season, accumulating a 7.47 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 15.2 innings with St. Louis. He'll now attempt to get back on track in Triple-A, and Roddery Munoz will come up to fill the vacancy in the Cardinals' bullpen.

Notches rare save Tuesday Graceffo secured the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates after throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

Impact With closer Ryan Helsley having worked three of the past four days for the Cardinals, it was Graceffo who notched his first save of the season to protect Tuesday's victory. The right-hander has a 6.30 ERA over four appearances (10 innings) this season, but he does sport a 1.29 ERA and 5:0 K:BB across his last seven innings of work. It's also worth noting setup man Phil Maton pitched in each of St. Louis' last two outings, so Graceffo will likely be hard-pressed to find save opportunities in the future.

Burleson's double lifts Cardinals past Pirates 2-1; Skenes' troubles against St. Louis continue

Alec Burleson hit a two-run double, Matthew Liberatore struck out eight in a season-high seven innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1

Sticking around as reliever The Cardinals plan to keep Graceffo in the majors as a reliever rather than return him to the Triple-A Memphis rotation, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Graceffo was recalled Monday and tossed a scoreless inning in a victory over the Pirates, picking up his second win in as many appearances. The righty went five innings of relief last week against the Reds, but manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that it would be "ideal" to deploy Graceffo in shorter stints moving forward as he settles into a relief role. Graceffo's stuff has played up in relief, most notably in his outing versus the Reds when his fastball peaked at 98.9 mph and slider reached 93 mph. It's not clear whether this is a permanent role switch for Graceffo or a trial run in the bullpen.

Contreras homer sparks Cardinals over Pirates 6-3

Back in big leagues The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Graceffo registered his first major-league win last week with five innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen in the second game of a doubleheader against the Reds. He will be available in long relief again for the Cardinals on Monday.

MAY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will be promoted Monday The Cardinals will recall Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis prior to Monday's game against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Presumably, he will take the roster spot of Michael McGreevy, who is expected to be sent back down to Memphis. Graceffo picked up a win out of the bullpen last week in Cincinnati with five innings of one-run ball and is eligible to be recalled because he was the 27th man for a doubleheader that day. He will serve in a long relief role.

MAY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis following Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds.

Impact St. Louis appointed Graceffo as its 27th man for the twin bill, with the right-hander being added to the roster ahead of the second game of the day. With starter Steven Matz getting lifted after four scoreless innings, Graceffo was called upon on in relief to finish out the contest. The 25-year-old picked up his first career MLB win while covering the final five innings of the Cardinals' 9-1 victory, striking out five and giving up an earned run on two hits and no walks. Though he'll head back to Triple-A, Graceffo's stellar relief outing should make him the next man up if an opening in the big-league rotation emerges.

Up as 27th man for doubleheader The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Graceffo will serve as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds. The right-hander was knocked around for seven runs (six earned) over three frames in his lone appearance with the Cardinals earlier this season. He's put up a 5.71 ERA and 16:5 K:BB across 17.1 innings in 2025 with Memphis.

Returns to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact As expected, Graceffo's stay with the big club lasted just one day after he was named the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox. Graceffo helped save the bullpen by eating three innings in the Cardinals' 18-7 loss in the second game of the day, during which he surrendered seven earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two.

Serving as 27th man The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Designated as the Cardinals' 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox, Graceffo will be available out of the bullpen and will likely be optioned back to Memphis immediately after the twin bill. Prior to receiving the call-up, Graceffo made one start for the Triple-A club, giving up four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over 2.1 innings March 30 versus Louisville.

Opening season at Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Impact Graceffo's demotion to Triple-A comes after president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said earlier Thursday that the Cardinals prefer to continue developing the 24-year-old right-hander as a starter. Though he didn't make much of a push for spot in St. Louis' Opening Day rotation this spring, Graceffo appeared to be in the running for a long-relief role until the Cardinals signed Phil Maton to a one-year deal Thursday. Graceffo will continue to get stretched out at minor-league camp and will make regular turns through the Memphis rotation to stay prepared in the event a starting role in St. Louis opens up at some point later in 2025.

Impact The Cardinals are looking at Graceffo for a possible bullpen role this spring, and while he's still got a shot to open the season with the big club in that role, the signing of Phil Maton on Thursday eliminates one open relief role. Mozeliak noted that Graceffo could still be used in relief with the big club later on even if he begins in the rotation at Memphis, as the club wants him on a regular schedule and with a plan to work on things. Graceffo has allowed six runs (five earned) with a 9:3 K:BB over 6.2 frames this spring.
