Quinn Mathews - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting on Saturday in Philadelphia Mathews will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis to start Saturday's game in Philadelphia, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact He's grabbing the spot vacated by the injured Andre Pallante (elbow) and will receive at least two turns in the Cardinals' rotation. Mathews has posted a 3.27 ERA and 120:61 K:BB over 99 innings covering 21 starts at Memphis in 2026, and he's allowed three runs with a 10:6 K:BB over nine innings in two starts for St. Louis.

Could step in for Leahy Mathews could be used at times in a piggyback role with Kyle Leahy down the stretch, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The Cardinals plan to curtail Leahy's workload down the stretch, and Mathews should be the biggest beneficiary. It's unclear what exactly that will look like, but it could be piggyback starts, spot starts or perhaps the implementation of a six-man rotation. Mathews has made two starts for the Cardinals so far, yielding three runs with a 10:6 K:BB over nine innings. The left-hander has logged a 3.27 ERA and 120:61 K:BB over 99 innings covering 21 starts at Triple-A Memphis in 2026.

Sent back to Memphis The Cardinals optioned Mathews to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact Mathews held the Reds to one run over four innings in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Reds. There's not currently room for the left-hander in the Cardinals' rotation, so he'll return to Memphis for now until another opportunity arises.

Fans seven in spot start Mathews completed four innings in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Cincinnati, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out seven batters in a no-decision...

Impact Mathews was called up from Triple-A Memphis early Monday and handed the ball for the matinee. The southpaw held his own, allowing just one run on a fourth-inning solo homer by Dane Myers. Mathews racked up 12 whiffs and seven punchouts, though he was a bit wild and needed 95 pitches (55 strikes) to complete only four frames. It was just the second appearance of the 25-year-old's big-league career; in his MLB debut Aug. 1 in Toronto, Mathews yielded three runs over five innings in a loss. Unless St. Louis opts to shift to a six-man rotation, there doesn't seem to be room for Mathews to remain with the big-league club as a starter for now, but he'd likely be a top candidate to move into the rotation should any of the Cardinals' other starters suffer an injury or get demoted.

Impact Mathews will start the first game of Monday's doubleheader in Cincinnati versus the Reds. It will be the second major-league start for Mathews, who yielded two runs with a 3:3 K:BB over five innings in his debut in Toronto earlier this month. In 21 starts for Memphis this season, Mathews has collected a 3.27 ERA and 120:61 K:BB across 99 innings. He will likely be sent back down following Monday's spot start.

Starting Game 1 Monday Mathews will be called up from Triple-A Memphis and start Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Reds, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Mathews will make his second career big-league start after he tossed five innings, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three batters in his major-league debut Aug 1. versus Toronto. The southpaw has produced a 3.27 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 120 punchouts over 99 innings in 21 starts with Triple-A Memphis this season.

Sent back to Memphis The Cardinals optioned Mathews to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact Mathews had a decent major-league debut last week in Toronto, allowing two runs with a 3:3 K:BB over five innings. With Hunter Dobbins replacing Dustin May in the Cardinals' rotation, Mathews will head back to Memphis for the time being. However, he is a good bet to make additional starts down the stretch for the big club.

Solid in MLB debut Mathews (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Cardinals fell 5-1 to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out three.

Impact In his big-league debut, Mathews kept things close but got little help from his offense, tossing 63 of 97 pitches for strikes and getting pulled after giving up a bunt single to Daulton Varsho to lead off the sixth. The Cards have yet to confirm whether the 25-year-old southpaw will stick around in the rotation, but with Dustin May likely to be moved by the trade deadline, a permanent spot could be about to open up. If he stays on turn, Mathews lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Rockies.

Promoted ahead of start The Cardinals selected Mathews' contract from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact After posting a 3.13 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 92 innings at Memphis, Mathews will make his MLB debut Saturday against a Blue Jays lineup that's put up just a .642 OPS since the All-Star break. His promotion gives the Cardinals six starters in their rotation, though the 25-year-old could claim a permanent spot with the big club if St. Louis trades away another starter before the deadline Monday. Tink Hence was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Impact Matthews was removed as an upcoming probable pitcher for Triple-A Memphis for Thursday, which hinted at his promotion. While the call-up is yet to be announced, he appears set to take a big league mound Saturday. He has been stellar in Triple-A over the past since months since June hit with a 1.55 ERA across 52.1 innings. It remains to be seen whether the Cardinals will trade a player such as Dustin May as the trade deadline looms Monday to create space for Matthews.
