Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Struggles versus Giants
Rotowire
Pallante allowed five runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants.
This was Pallante's shortest outing since his 1.2-inning appearance against the Cubs on Aug. 9, though he has had plenty of struggles in that span. The right-hander was able to avoid a loss for just the second time in his last 10 starts as the Cardinals rallied for a comeback in the late innings. Pallante is now at a 5.31 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 111:62 K:BB through 162.2 innings over 31 starts this season, and he is not projected to make another appearance in 2025.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Ineffective in 14th loss
Rotowire
Pallante (6-14) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and four walks in five innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
The walks came back to haunt Pallante, who issued at least three of them for the fourth time in his last six starts. Although he's thrown at least five innings in six consecutive outings, the right-hander has permitted at least four runs in four of them. Pallante has a lackluster 5.34 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB across 155 innings in 2025, and he's lined up to face the division-rival Reds next week.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Delivers quality start Saturday
Rotowire
Pallante didn't factor into the decision against the Giants on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings.
Pallante turned in his first quality start since July 28, keeping San Francisco in check outside of a pair of runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander has struggled with consistency in the second half, including a 9.82 ERA and 2.14 WHIP over five starts in August, but he showed improved command and efficiency Saturday by completing six innings for just the second time in his last eight outings. Pallante will take a 5.28 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 104:53 K:BB over 150 innings into Milwaukee for his next scheduled start.

Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.38 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP and 101:52 K:BB across 27 starts (144 innings) this year. Pallante will look to turn things around in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Giants.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Remaining in rotation
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Pallante will make his next scheduled start Sunday in Cincinnati, John Denton of MLB.comreports.
Pallante has posted an 8.26 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB over 44.2 innings covering his last nine starts, but the Cardinals believe his underlying metrics point to better success moving forward and want the hurler work through his issues in the big-league rotation. The right-hander should not be used in fantasy leagues until he shows some improvement, particularly with a start at Great American Ball Park looming this weekend.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Hit hard Tuesday
Rotowire
Pallante (6-12) took the loss Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and a walk while striking out three in five innings.
The run of bad starts continued Tuesday for Pallante, who now has an 11.65 ERA and 2.18 WHIP over his last four outings. Pallante allowed three runs and four hits before even recording an out against the Pirates. He wound up surrendering seven runs over the first two frames before Henry Davis took him yard for a solo shot in the third. Pallante showed promise in 2024, posting a 3.78 ERA over 121.1 innings, but he's been a completely different pitcher in 2025. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated after Pallante's poor start Tuesday that a discussion would need to be had about the pitcher's standing in the rotation, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Should he get another turn through the rotation, Pallante would line up to face the Reds on the road this weekend.
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Struggles continue during loss
Rotowire
Pallante (6-11) took the loss against the Marlins on Wednesday, surrendering five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings.
Pallante was tagged for at least one run in four of the six frames he worked and was lifted immediately after serving up a homer to Maximo Acosta in the sixth. It marked the sixth time in his last eight outings that the right-hander has allowed at least four earned runs, a stretch in which he's posted a 7.71 ERA and a 29:16 K:BB across 39.2 innings. Pallante will have a decent chance to right the ship in his next scheduled turn against the Pirates.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Salvages poor showing with eight Ks
Rotowire
Pallante (6-10) took the loss Friday against the Yankees, giving up four runs on six hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out eight.
The eight strikeouts were a season high for Pallante, but it was not an encouraging showing overall. The right-hander has now yielded at least four runs on five occasions over his last seven outings, posting an unsightly 7.60 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over his last 34.1 innings. Pallante has a lone quality start during that stretch, so he doesn't project as a recommended streamer next week in Miami.
Pallante (6-9) allowed six runs on seven hits and one walk while failing to record a strikeout over 1.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Cubs.
Pallante gave up two runs in the first inning and four more in the second before making his early exit in this contest. He's operated at the extremes lately -- over his last nine starts, he's allowed two or fewer runs five times, but he's allowed at least five runs in the other four starts in that span. On the season, Pallante has an uninspiring 4.95 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 80:41 K:BB across 123.2 innings through 23 starts. His next start is expected to be at home versus the Yankees.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Yields two runs in loss
Rotowire
Pallante (6-8) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Padres.
Pallante posted seven innings of one-hit ball in his last start, but he wasn't able to replicate it Sunday. It was a decent outing, aside from the two-run home run Jake Cronenworth hit in the fourth inning to open the scoring. Pallante is now at a 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 80:40 K:BB through 122 innings over 22 starts this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Delivers seven shutout innings
Rotowire
Pallante (6-7) earned the win Monday, allowing a hit and a walk over seven scoreless innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.
Pallante was stellar Monday, allowing just two Marlins to reach base while cruising to his sixth win of the season. It was a much-needed rebound for the right-hander, who came into the outing with a 9.77 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 15.2 innings in his previous three starts. On the year, he now holds a 4.62 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 117 innings in 21 starts. While Pallante is capable of intermittent stretches of success, improving on his modest 5.8 K/9 will likely be key to him following up Monday's outing with a stretch of strong showings.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Falls to Rockies
Rotowire
Pallante (5-7) took the loss Wednesday against the Rockies, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
It was another tough outing for Pallante, who gave up four runs in the second inning of an eventual 6-0 loss. The right-hander has now allowed 17 earned runs across just 15.2 innings in his last three starts. Pallante's ERA is up to 4.91 through 20 starts (110 innings) this season, to go along with a 1.37 WHIP and 72:36 K:BB.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Will have schedule adjusted
Rotowire
The Cardinals plan to adjust Pallante's pitching schedule following Wednesday's start in Colorado, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Pallante is currently sitting at 105 innings, which puts him on pace to easily exceed last year's career-high 137.2 frames. It's not clear exactly how Pallante's schedule will be adjusted, but it could involve skipping a start. The right-hander is tentatively lined up to face the Marlins at home next week.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Dealt sixth loss
Rotowire
Pallante (5-6) allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.
Pallante has a pair of scoreless outings over his last five starts, but he's given up 15 runs (13 earned) across 28.2 innings in that span. This was his second poor start in a row, though he was able to keep the ball down this time after allowing two home runs in a seven-run disaster versus the Nationals prior to the All-Star break. Pallante has a mediocre 4.71 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 67:34 K:BB through 105 innings over 19 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at Colorado, though that may not be as scary a matchup for a groundball-heavy pitcher like Pallante.

Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Knocked around in fifth loss
Rotowire
Pallante (5-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Nationals, giving up seven runs on eight hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out one.
Pallante was knocked around, matching a season high in runs allowed and falling one hit allowed short of his season worst. The 26-year-old right-hander tends to pitch to contact, as he entered Wednesday with a 64.6 percent groundball rate in 2025, and that got him into trouble while tying a season low with one strikeout against Washington. Pallante will carry an ordinary 4.49 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 64:32 K:BB over 100.1 innings into the All-Star break, and he'll likely primarily remain a matchup-based streamer for fantasy purposes.
