Michael McGreevy - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Two perfect frames in spring start McGreevy struck out a pair in two perfect frames this past week against the Yankees in his spring debut.

Impact All six batters McGreevy's faced were projected regulars for the Yankees, and he disposed of them efficiently in needing just 21 pitches to cruise through his two frames. Steven Matz appears to be McGreevy's biggest competition for a spot in the Cardinals' rotation, and Matz also tossed two scoreless innings in his first Grapefruit League start. A trade of either Matz or Erick Fedde would figure to secure McGreevy's spot.

Shows up in great shape McGreevy added 15 pounds of muscle this offseason, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact McGreevy reported to spring training with a shot at winning one of the last spots in the Cardinals rotation, saying he tried to trim as much body fat as he could while putting on the 15 pounds of muscle. "He looks good [this spring training]," said manager Oliver Marmol of McGreevy. "He put on some weight and had a really good offseason, and I'm excited to see what's coming out of that arm." The 24-year-old righty logged 150 innings at Triple-A and 23 innings in the majors last season. He registered an elite 62.5 percent groundball rate and 2.3 percent walk rate in the majors, leading to a 0.78 WHIP. McGreevy sits in the low-90s with his fastball, but he has a plus slider and his command might be double-plus. Andre Pallante and Steven Matz may have a leg up on McGreevy for the final two spots in the rotation, but McGreevy is arguably the most appealing of the three for fantasy.

Fires gem Sunday McGreevy (3-0) allowed a run on five hits over eight innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Giants.

Impact McGreevy let just one Giant reach scoring position through six frames before finally coughing up an RBI single to Brett Wisely in the seventh inning. McGreevy was very efficient, throwing 64 of 91 pitches for strikes, though he forced only seven whiffs. He was impressive during his short rookie season; McGreevy posted a 1.96 ERA and an 18:2 K:BB through 23 frames.

No-decision at Colorado McGreevy allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact McGreevy left the game down 3-2, but the Cardinals were able to rally ahead to get him off the hook. The rookie has pitched to a 2.40 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB over his first 15 innings in the majors, and this was the first time in three appearances (two starts) he didn't come away with a win. McGreevy is tentatively projected to start the Cardinals' season finale in San Francisco on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joining rotation Tuesday McGreevy is listed as the Cardinals' scheduled starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, McGreevy was put to work out of the bullpen a day later in the Cardinals' game against the Pirates. He scooped up the win while tossing three scoreless innings in relief, and he'll now get the chance to enter the St. Louis rotation for the final week of the season, taking over the spot vacated by the injured Lance Lynn (knee). Unless the Cardinals elect to expand their rotation to six men by potentially shifting Steven Matz from the bullpen, McGreevy will tentatively line up for two starts during the final week of the season. After Tuesday's contest in Colorado, McGreevy would be lined up to take the hill for the finale Sunday in San Francisco.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win in relief McGreevy (2-0) allowed two hits and struck out four without walking a batter over three scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday over Pirates.

Impact The Cardinals' six-run rally in the seventh inning gave McGreevy a lead and he didn't let the Pirates back in. He's won both of his major-league appearances this season, the other one being an excellent seven-inning start versus the Rangers on July 31. Lance Lynn's season is done due to renewed right knee inflammation, which gives McGreevy an opportunity to potentially pick up a start in the final week if the Cardinals want to stick with a six-man rotation.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Cardinals recalled McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Impact It appears the plan for now is to use McGreevy in relief, although a start or two is possible before the season comes to a close. He went seven frames of one-run ball in a spot start earlier this season in his major league debut and collected a 4.02 ERA and 138:44 K:BB across 150 innings covering 27 outings at Memphis.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joining big-league club The Cardinals are expected to recall McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis prior to Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact McGreevy was scratched from a scheduled start Tuesday for Memphis, and that move was evidently made because he's headed back to the majors. While a start down the stretch is possible, McGreevy is expected to be available in long relief for now. He threw seven innings of one-run ball in a spot start in his major-league debut in late July.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Memphis The Cardinals optioned McGreevy to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Impact McGreevy was impressive during his MLB debut Wednesday, throwing seven innings of one-run ball while coming away with the win. However, he will be sent back to Triple-A to clear a rotation spot for Erick Fedde, who was acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Tuesday.

AUGUST 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive in big-league debut McGreevy (1-0) earned the win over Texas on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters over seven innings.

Impact McGreevy wasn't overpowering, but he had good control and allowed just one extra-base hit over his seven frames. The right-hander has never posted big strikeout numbers in the minors, and he recorded a 4.45 ERA across 109.1 innings with Triple-A Memphis this season prior to his call-up Wednesday, so fantasy managers are likely best served tempering expectations rather than rushing to the waiver wire to claim the 24-year-old. This was likely just a spot start in the majors for McGreevy, though he certainly showed enough to be a consideration for St. Louis the next time a spare arm is needed.

AUGUST 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted ahead of MLB debut The Cardinals selected McGreevy's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Impact McGreevy will start Wednesday's series finale against the Rangers in what will be his major-league debut. The right-hander has put up pedestrian numbers at Memphis this season, collecting a 4.45 ERA and 96:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings. He's been at his best over the last two months, though, with a 2.94 ERA and 52:19 K:BB across 52 frames since June 1. McGreevy is expected to be sent back down after the spot start.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for MLB debut Wednesday The Cardinals will call up McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Cardinals are in a stretch of 16 games without a day off, so they'll give McGreevy a spot start in order to provide some rest for their regular rotation members. The 2021 first-round pick will be making his major-league debut Wednesday after turning in a 4.45 ERA and 96:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings covering 20 starts with Memphis. He's not currently on the Cardinals' 40-man roster.

Impact The Cardinals are in a stretch of 16 games without a day off, so they'll give McGreevy a spot start in order to provide some rest for their regular rotation members. It will be the major-league debut for the first-round pick after McGreevy held a 4.45 ERA and 96:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings covering 20 starts with Memphis. He is not currently on the 40-man roster.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves up to Triple-A McGreevy was promoted to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact McGreevy began the year with Double-A Springfield after producing an unremarkable 4.64 ERA in 20 starts there last season. The Cardinals evidently didn't need to see much to move him up to the next level, as he got the call after recording a 1.45 ERA in three starts. Getting to the doorstep of the big leagues presumably puts him in consideration for a promotion later this season, though he's not yet on the 40-man roster.
