Top Ryne Stanek News

  • Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Dominant in appearance

    Stanek pitched a perfect inning while striking out the side in a 3-2 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

    After entering the game in the eighth inning, Stanek retired the top three Mariners hitters, J.P. Crawford, Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez, in order. The veteran right-hander pitched back-to-back scoreless outings against Seattle. The 34-year-old has been shaky this season with 10 earned runs allowed in just 11.2 innings pitched, while recording 17 strikeouts as well.

  • Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Pitches seventh inning Tuesday

    Stanek walked one and recorded one strikeout in a scoreless seventh inning in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mets.

    Stanek handled the ninth inning in both of the Cardinals' previous two wins, picking up the save on Opening Day against the Rays before blowing the save in the second game of the season. Manager Oliver Marmol opted to use Stanek in a setup role Tuesday, and Stanek had his best inning of the young season. With Stanek used earlier in the game, the Cardinals went to Riley O'Brien for the ninth inning Tuesday, and he slammed the door shut on the Mets, setting them down in order on 11 pitches to pick up his first save of the season. All three of Stanek, O'Brien and JoJo Romero figure to get save chances for the Cardinals this season.

  • Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Picks up win despite blown save

    Stanek (1-0) blew the save but collected the win in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Rays, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits over 1.1 innings. He struck out two.

    With the Cardinals ahead 4-0, Matt Svanson got the call in the ninth inning but ran into trouble, and Stanek allowed two inherited runners to score before the tying run was added to his own ledger on a Nick Fortes single. Stanek allowed an additional unearned run in the top of the 10th but got bailed out when rookie JJ Wetherholt walked it off in the bottom of the frame. While Stanek has gotten the Cards' first two save chances of the season, converting the first one, he's looked shaky in both outings and has a 3.86 ERA and 3:3 K:BB in his first 2.1 innings of the season.

  • Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Hangs on for first save

    Stanek picked up the save Thursday against the Rays, allowing no hits and three walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

    The right-hander drew St. Louis' first save opportunity of the year in his team debut, suggesting he's firmly in the mix for ninth-inning work. It's perhaps too early to tell if he'll get the bulk of the save chances in 2026, but Stanek could be worth a speculative pickup in fantasy leagues as this situation shakes out. JoJo Romero and Riley O'Brien worked the seventh and eighth innings respectively Thursday.

  • Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Could be part of closer committee

    The Cardinals could use Stanek as part of a closer-by-committee strategy, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Manager Oliver Marmol said of the Cardinals' closer job that "I don't think we need to name a guy," and he expects the situation to eventually "solve itself." Riley O'Brien, JoJo Romero and Matt Svanson are also in the mix for saves along with Stanek. The 34-year-old Stanek is the elder statesman of the group but is probably better suited for a setup role. Stanek collected a 5.30 ERA and 58:32 K:BB over 56 innings for the Mets in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Ryne Stanek: Headed to St. Louis

    Stanek agreed to a contract with the Cardinals on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Stanek endured one of the worst seasons of his MLB career during 2025, finishing the year with a 5.30 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 56 innings with the Mets. His recent performance will likely prevent him from taking on a high-leverage role right away with the Cardinals, though the team's lack of bullpen depth could enable him to pick up a handful of holds over the course of the season.

  • Mets' Ryne Stanek: Secures third save Tuesday

    Stanek picked up the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Angels, allowing two hits and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

    Closer Edwin Diaz worked each of the past two days for the Mets, which opened the door for Stanek to handle Tuesday's save opportunity and register his third save of the year. As long as Diaz stays healthy, Stanek is unlikely to see very much ninth-inning work out of New York's bullpen. On the season, Stanek owns a troublesome 4.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB across 34.2 innings.

  • Mets' Ryne Stanek: Earns second save

    Stanek allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and picked up a save against the Reds on Sunday.

    Stanek worked around a one-out single to close out the 3-2 victory for his second save of the year. His other save came against Miami on April 7. He dropped his ERA to 4.28 with a 37:18 K:BB through 33.2 frames. Edwin Diaz was charged with a blown save after entering in the eighth inning Sunday.

  • Mets' Ryne Stanek: Notches seventh hold

    Stanek struck out three in 1.1 perfect innings of relief Thursday to record his seventh hold of the season in a win over the Brewers.

    The right-hander fired 12 of 15 pitches for strikes in a dominant performance. Stanek has picked up holds in back-to-back appearances, and while he remains prone to meltdowns he's been dialed in over the last couple weeks, posting a 0.00 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in his last six innings. He's tied for third on the Mets in holds, behind Reed Garrett's 14 and Huascar Brazoban's 10, but Stanek could get bumped further down the pecking order for setup work if the team makes significant bullpen additions at the trade deadline.

  • Mets' Ryne Stanek: Collects first win

    Stanek (1-3) struck out two in a perfect eighth inning Sunday to pick up the win over the Cubs.

    With the score tied 2-2, the right-hander breezed through Chicago's 9-1-2 hitters on 11 pitches (eight strikes) before the Mets' offense erupted for four runs in the bottom of the frame. After a rough end to the month of April that included three straight losses and blown saves, Stanek has yet to allow a run in May, posting a 5:0 K:BB over five scoreless innings as he re-establishes himself as a reliable high-leverage option for the Mets.

  • Mets' Ryne Stanek: Another high-leverage collapse

    Stanek (0-3) blew the save and took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, giving up two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.

    Entering the game with one out in the seventh inning to protect a 1-0 lead, Stanek gave up three straight hits to put Arizona ahead for good. The right-hander has fallen apart at the end of April, giving up at least one run in four of his last five appearances and taking both the loss and a blown save in three straight trips to the mound. The collapse has left Stanek with a 5.06 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB through 10.2 innings on the season, and even with A.J. Minter (lat) on the shelf, the former may be removed from high-leverage duties until he turns things around.

  • Mets' Ryne Stanek: Another blown save

    Stanek (0-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save Sunday against the Nationals. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning.

    With Edwin Diaz apparently unavailable, Stanek got another chance in the ninth inning after blowing his last save opportunity Friday. Sunday's outing did not go any better for Stanek -- he surrendered the tying run on a pair of hits before the Nats scored the game-winner on a Pete Alonso error. Stanek's ERA now sits at 3.60 with a 1.50 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB across 10 innings as he falls to 1-for-3 in save chances.
