McGreevy surrendered two homers to Michael Busch. He ends a solid rookie season at 8-4 with a 4.42 ERA and a 58/20 K/BB in 95 2/3 innings. Going forward, he’ll need to up his groundball rate or his strikeout rate in order to remain successful. This year’s 47% groundball rate is above average, but it’s not going to be good enough to overcome a 14.5% strikeout rate.

McGreevy allowed homers to bookend his innings; a leadoff shot from Heliot Ramos and a fifth-inning solo blast from Rafael Devers. The big damage came in the fourth, however, as McGreevy allowed a three-spot in that frame. Fortunately for him and fantasy managers, the mediocre at best effort gets a win thanks to six runs of support from his offense. McGreevy was due for an outing like this, and he’ll hope to pitch more like he did Tuesday (7 IP, 0 ER, 6 SO) against the Reds when he pitches in the finale against the Cubs.

McGreevy put together the best start of his rookie campaign, shutting out the Reds over seven innings. He scattered three hits and issued three walks while collecting six strikeouts on 91 pitches. The 25-year-old right-hander will look to build on the start when he takes a 4.08 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 53/15 K/BB ratio across 86 innings into a start against the Giants in San Francisco on Monday.

It was 1-1 when McGreevy departed, so he didn’t factor into the decision. In his last eight starts, McGreevy has completed six innings seven times, amassing a 4.11 ERA. He’s not missing enough bats to do much better than that, but he feels like someone the Cardinals can pencil into next year’s rotation. He’ll face the Reds next.

McGreevy walked one batter on the evening while striking out three. He served up back-to-back homers to Rafael Devers and Willy Adames in the opening frame, then kept the Giants off the board until they erupted for four more in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old hurler got six swings and misses on 75 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he totes a 4.68 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 43/12 K/BB ratio (73 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Mariners in Seattle.

The Reds went the whole game without striking out, but they were held to three singles and two doubles while mostly pounding the ball into the ground against McGreevy. It’s the sixth straight outing in which McGreevy has completed six innings, and he improved to 6-2 with a 4.17 ERA. His ceiling wouldn’t seem to be very high, but it’s certainly already safe to pencil him into the Cardinals’ 2026 rotation. He’ll face the Giants next.

McGreevy struck out seven and walked two while posting a 19 percent whiff rate and 25 percent CSW. He was set up for the win before Riley O’Brien allowed a run in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old doesn’t miss many bats, but he pounds the strike zone, which allows for plenty of called strikes and the odd game with a solid strikeout total. Three of the four runs McGreevy allowed were on two home runs, and that makes it hard to get excited about starting him in Cincinnati later this week.

McGreevy allowed six hits, walked none and struck out five in moving to 3-0 with a 4.13 ERA in four starts this month. He still hasn’t struck out more than five batters in any of his 10 outings, but he’s walked a total of seven and allowed four homers in 57 innings, and if you can stay away from those things, you can afford to give up some singles and doubles. He’ll likely make his next start Monday against the Pirates.

McGreevy struck out two and didn’t walk a batter while throwing 48 of his 74 pitches for strikes. He allowed only one extra base hit, a home run to Mickey Moniak, but he posted just a 14 percent whiff rate and 24 percent CSW is a relatively underwhelming start. McGreevy simply doesn’t miss enough bats to provide a ceiling that would entice fantasy managers. He could be considered a high-floor streamer next week against the Marlins, but it’s a bit of a risk.

The 25-year-old rookie right-hander struck out three batters on the evening while allowing one free pass. All six of the hits against him in the ballgame were singles. The biggest threat against him came as the Cubs put two men on to open the fifth inning, but McGreevy rallied to retire the next three hitters in order to quell that rally. He got six whiffs on 87 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 25 percent. He’ll attempt to replicate this fine effort as he totes a 4.40 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 26/7 K/BB ratio (45 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Rockies.

It was a better effort than the last outing out — also against the Padres — but McGreevy certainly wasn’t impressive. He allowed seven hits and a walk, and saw his ERA increase to 5.08 despite four strikeouts. McGreevy would be a risky streaming option against the Cubs next weekend.

He allowed nine hits, walked two and struck out two with his velocity down a tad today. McGreevy, now probably a full-time starter for the Cardinals after Erick Fedde was dropped, came into the day with a 3.49 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance in the majors this season. He should get enough grounders to survive in the rotation, but hopefully his stuff will be a little crisper when he faces the Padres again next time out.

McGreevy will get the nod after the Cardinals designated Erick Fedde for assignment Wednesday. In his spot start Monday against the Rockies he worked seven innings while allowing just two runs, and that earns him another turn in the rotation. McGreevy does not have great swing-and-miss potential, so there’s risk in his fantasy profile, but his ability to limit weak contact and throw strikes makes him someone who is worthy of consideration against a considerable amount of lineups.

McGreevy came up for a spot start after Matthew Liberatore was scratched, and the former first-round pick did a solid job in some unfriendly confines. He only struck out one while allowing seven hits, but he didn’t have any self-inflicted damage and kept Colorado off the board from the third-inning on. McGreevy isn’t going to miss enough bats to be a fantasy stalwart, but there’s enough command of his arsenal to suggest he can be a streaming option in the coming seasons.

It’s a brutal spot for fantasy purposes with McGreevy coming up to take the ball for Monday’s series opener against the Rockies at high-octane Coors Field. The 25-year-old righty has shown some flashes of fantasy potential in a handful of outings this season for St. Louis and there’s a reasonable case to be made that he’d be an upgrade in the rotation over cromulent veteran Erick Fedde at this juncture. He’s not a recommended streaming option on Monday evening, but he’s the type of arm fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues should continue monitoring.

With Miles Mikolas and Erick Fedde struggling in the MLB rotation, McGreevy could be pushing for another opportunity, so this was a poor time to have a really bad start. The right-hander gave up two home runs on the day, but still has a 3.21 ERA in 70 innings at Triple-A this season. He’ll get a shot at some point.

The 24-year-old is 8-1 with a 2.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 67 innings at Triple-A this year. We’re not sure what more he has to prove at this level to get a spot in the Cardinals’ rotation.

McGreevy has been shipped back to the minors after predictably getting torched for five runs over 4 2/3 innings on Tuesday night when temperatures were pushing the 90-degree mark at Busch Stadium. The 24-year-old righty has shown some promise at times this season and should get another chance relatively soon.

The 24-year-old right-hander walked one batter on the evening while striking out one. All of the damage done against him came in the third inning as Kyle Tucker smacked a two-run single and Seiya Suzuki followed with a three-run blast. Still, McGreevy was just one out away from qualifying for a victory but couldn’t wiggle his way out of the fifth inning. He got just five swings and misses on 77 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. McGreevy now sports a 4.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 16/3 K/BB ratio over 21 1/3 innings in four appearances (three starts) with the Cardinals this season. He’s expected to head back to Triple-A Memphis after this spot start.

McGreevy has found some consistent success this season in the big leagues, but he’s a tough recommendation for fantasy purposes when he takes the ball on Tuesday night against a formidable Cubs’ lineup at Busch Stadium with temperatures nearing triple digits. The 24-year-old righty is worthy of a speculative stash in deeper mixed leagues after compiling a strong 2.70 ERA and 15/2 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings (three appearances, two starts) this season in the majors.

It’s not exactly a great spot for streaming purposes, but McGreevy has held his own in a handful of recent starts in the big leagues. The 24-year-old righty limited the White Sox to just one run over five innings last Thursday and has earned an extended look with the Cardinals. He’ll face a tough test against the Cubs at Busch Stadium, which limits his fantasy appeal to extremely deep mixed leagues.

Serving as the Cardinals’ 27th man, McGreevy struck out five and left with a 6-1 lead. It should have led to his fifth victory in seven career appearances, but the Cardinals blew the entire five-run lead in the seventh before winning in extras. McGreevy will return to Triple-A now, but he’s in line for more spot starts.

McGreevy gave up eight hits, walked none and struck out five. The 24-year-old right-hander had a tough draw against the Dodgers in his first MLB start this year. The plan is to give McGreevy an extended look in the rotation. Right now his value is limited to NL-Only leagues, but he could have mixed league value if he puts up better numbers against weaker opponents. McGreevy will get another chance against the Brewers on the road next weekend.

The move is now official. McGreevy will face a tough test in his return to the majors when he squares off against Los Angeles’ loaded lineup on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium. The 24-year-old pitching prospect is expected to receive an extended look in the Cardinals’ rotation after a run of strong starts at the Triple-A level. There’s some intrigue here for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues, but he’s more of a wait-and-see option in shallow formats.

It’s official. McGreevy will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis later this weekend to square off against Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw at Busch Stadium. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told reporters that the 24-year-old righty will get an extended look in the majors after a series of strong outings at the Triple-A level in recent weeks. It’s a challenging assignment facing Los Angeles’ star-studded lineup, which makes it challenging to recommend him as an immediate streaming option, even in deeper mixed leagues. There’s some intrigue in the coming weeks if he manages to hang onto a rotation spot.

McGreevy also struck out nine and walked just one against the Rays’ Triple-A squad. On the season, McGreevy is 6-1 with a 3.02 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 54/11 K/BB ratio in 50 2/3 innings at Triple-A. He showed well in spring training as well and is knocking on the door of the big leagues if a spot opens up in the St. Louis rotation.

McGreevy heads back to Triple-A after throwing 5 2/3 scoreless innings in relief to win the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Mets. He’ll rejoin the rotation at Memphis, where he already has a 4.08 ERA in six starts this year.

McGreevy struck out five batters during the impressive performance. He came on to put out a fire with the bases loaded and one out in the fourth inning and he responded by striking out Mark Vientos and getting Brandon Nimmo to line out to right to get out of it. He then went on to shut the Mets down over the next five innings to escape with a one-run victory. McGreevy got nine whiffs on 80 pitches in the game, posting a CSW of 29 percent. With the Cardinals utilizing a six-man rotation at the moment, it’s going to be difficult for them to justify keeping McGreevy out of there much longer. He’s worth a speculative look in deeper mixed leagues.

McGreevy made four appearances (three starts) last year for the Cardinals in his first exposure to the big leagues. The 24-year-old righty has scuffled this season at the Triple-A level, compiling a lackluster 4.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25/7 K/BB ratio across 28 2/3 innings (six starts). He’s presumably up with St. Louis as emergency long relief depth moving forward.
