This was the good version of Pallante. His slider forced seven swings-and-misses as he dotted in beautifully low and below the zone and played it well off his sinker for the righties and fastball for the lefties. He also got the Pirates to hit into lots of harmless contact, whether it was lazy pop-ups or ground balls. He’ll take a 3.73 ERA into his next start against the Brewers.

The right-hander uncharacteristically piled up eight strikeouts in the contest while walking three opposing batters. The Mariners scratched out single runs against him in the second and fourth innings, then Josh Naylor clubbed a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Pallante generated 12 swings and misses on 90 pitches on the night, registering an elite CSW of 38 percent. He’ll see if that swing-and-miss stuff can carry over to Wednesday’s matchup against Paul Skenes and the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

He struck out five and walked three. Pallante has a 2-1 record and a respectable 4.05 ERA, but his 12/11 K/BB in 20 innings is hideous and he’s not such a strong groundball pitcher than he can survive that kind of thing for long. He’ll face the Mariners next week.

Inducing grounders is the name of the game for Pallante, but the Red Sox got the ball into the air against him today and collected eight hits on liners or flies. After two successful outings to begin the year, Pallante is now 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA through three starts. He’ll face the Astros next weekend, but it might be best for the Cardinals if a younger pitcher overtakes him in the rotation sometime in the coming months.

Pallante also walked four and struck out two while throwing 61 percent of his pitches for strikes. His velocity was down across the board, including 1.2 miles per hour on his fastball. He had three whiffs on his slider but just a 15 percent whiff rate overall in an outing that wasn’t overly impressive. We likely wouldn’t start him on Sunday against the Red Sox.

Pallante allowed all three hits over the first five innings before Gordon Graceffo, Ryne Stanek, JoJo Romero and Riley O’Brien finished things up. Pallante struck out only three, which is pretty much par for the course for him, but he got nine outs on the ground. The Cardinals would take five solid innings every time out from him, at least until they cashed him in before the trade deadline. He’ll next face the Nationals on Monday.

Pallante’s rotation spot has to be pretty much locked up at this point, as he’s sporting a 2.57 ERA through 14 innings. He doesn’t offer any fantasy potential at all, but the Cardinals would be just fine with 170 innings of anything close to a league-average ERA.

Pallante struck out three and allowed just one hard-hit ball to the 16 batters he faced. He might eventually get overtaken in the Cardinals rotation, but with his 3.00 ERA in three outings this spring, he’s probably doing enough to keep his spot initially.

Pallante struck out two and had a successful outing even though his velocity is down by about two mph at the moment. He’s certain to be a part of the Cardinals’ rotation to begin the year, but he has a lot to prove after finishing 6-15 with a 5.31 ERA last year.

Pallante was a Super Two player last year, so that’s inflating his salary a little here in his second year of arbitration. The 27-year-old went 6-15 with a 5.31 ERA in 31 starts last season, making him quite the question mark going forward. He’ll definitely open up in the middle of a weak Cardinals rotation, but he could be pushed if prospects start panning out.

Pallante was sharp through two clean inning before falling apart in the third. Though, a fielding error with the bases loaded and no outs didn’t help as two runs would come in to score. The Giants plated three more runs before Pallante was replaced by John King with two outs, ending his day at 66 pitches with four strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander ends his season with a 5.31 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and a 111/62 K/BB ratio across 162 2/3 innings.

Three of those runs were allowed on one swing of the bat, as Spencer Steer took Pallante deep for a three-run blast. The 26-year-old was ok after that, but damage done. Pallante has had some decent moments as a starter in 2025, but the overall experience has been shaky as seen in a 5.29 ERA over 160 innings. His final start of the campaign will come against the Giants next week.

Pallante gave up for hits, walked four and struck out none. The 26-year-old right-hander went without recording a strikeout for the second time in his last seven starts. This is also the fifth start where Pallante has recorded one or less strikeouts. He has a 5.34 ERA and 104 strikeouts in 155 innings this year. Pallante is lined up to face the Reds at home next week.

Pallante looked like he was going to get a hard-luck loss, but the Cardinals scored three in the bottom of the ninth to prevent that from happening. The 26-year-old allowed five hits with a walk, and he struck out three. Pallante has had mixed results at best in 2025 — a 5.28 ERA suggests that might be too kind — but there have been moments to suggest he can be a decent option someday. It’s a mistake in process to believe Friday against the Brewers will be one of those days.

Pallante was hit hard for the third straight start as he surrendered six hits, including a go-ahead homer to Austin Hays in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old figures to hang onto his rotation spot for now, but he’s really struggled in the second half. He’ll square off against the Giants on Saturday at Busch Stadium.

Pallante struck out three hitters on the evening while issuing one base on balls. The Pirates jumped on him early and often in this one, pushing five runs across in the opening inning, two more in the second and another in the third on a solo blast by Henry Davis. Pallante finished his day with two scoreless frames. The 26-year-old hurler got six whiffs on 91 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of only 21 percent. He now holds a miserable 5.44 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and a 95/48 K/BB ratio over 139 innings on the season. We’ll see if he sticks around to make his scheduled start against the Reds in Cincinnati on Sunday or if the Cardinals decide to explore other rotation options.

Pallante’s final line could’ve been a lot worse had he not managed to wriggle out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning. He surrendered eight hits, including a sixth-inning solo shot to rookie Maximo Acosta. He struck out four and issued three walks. The 26-year-old righty has really hit a wall of late, posting a calamitous 7.22 ERA across his last seven starts since last month’s All-Star break. He’ll attempt to turn things around next week with a tasty matchup on Tuesday against the last-place Pirates.

Pallante gave up six hits, walked three and struck out eight. The 26-year-old right-hander has allowed at least four runs in five of his last seven starts. Pallante has a 5.04 ERA and 88/44 K/BB ratio in 128 2/3 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Marlins on the road next week.

He walked one, didn’t strike out a batter, and posted a nine percent whiff rate and 21 percent CSW in an underwhelming start. The Cubs also tattooed him with a 95.4 mph average exit velocity on balls in play. Pallante lines up to start against the Yankees next week, but he should not be used in fantasy leagues.

Pallante struck out four batters on the afternoon while issuing three free passes. He pitched into and out of trouble through each of the first three innings, then finally served up a two-run homer to Jake Cronenworth in the fourth. The 26-year-old right-hander got 13 swings and misses on 93 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll carry an uninspiring 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and an 80/40 K/BB ratio (122 innings) into Saturday’s matchup against the Cubs.

Pallante struck out four and walked one while throwing 49 of his 81 pitches for strikes. He rode his slider to a 28 percent whiff rate and 26 percent CSW on the day, but is not a recommended streamer against the Padres over the weekend.

Pallante has given up 17 earned runs over 15 2/3 innings in his last three starts, all of which were against non-contenders. He’s dropped to 5-7 with a 4.91 ERA, and one wonders if he might be the next pitcher to get the boot from the St. Louis rotation. He’s slated to face the Marlins next time out.

Pallante walked two and struck out three. The right-hander had alternated strong outings with clunkers over the month-plus, but this makes back-to-back bad outings after giving up seven runs to the Nationals last Wednesday. That sees him rise his ERA to a less-than-spectacular 4.71, but he does have a friendly match-up on paper coming up against the Rockies next week.

The Cardinals will then follow with Sonny Gray on Saturday and Miles Mikolas on Sunday, which means Erick Fedde will likely start Monday against the Rockies in Coors Field, and Matthew Liberatore will follow on Tuesday.

He added just two strikeouts. Pallante got off to a bad start when Nathaniel Lowe took him deep for a three-run home run in the first inning. Pallante threw him one of the fattest hanging curveballs a pitcher could ever throw and Lowe smoked it. Then, he gave up three more in the fourth and another in the fifth. This was only the second time since May 10 where Pallante let in more than three runs.

Pallante struck out three and walked two. Andrew McCutchen was actually responsible for those two walks and the lone hit; everyone else in the Pirates lineup combined to go 0-for-20 while Pallante was in the game. Alas, it was still scoreless when Pallante’s night came to an end, and Phil Maton went on to give up a run in the eighth. Pallante, now sporting a 4.10 ERA, probably won’t pitch again until next Tuesday against the Nationals, as the Cardinals have two off days coming up.

Pallante had really good velocity today and got 12 whiffs, but he nonetheless settled for two strikeouts. It’s his first loss since May 21, even though he’d had a start with seven runs allowed and two starts with four runs allowed since then. He’s 5-4 with a 4.43 ERA overall. Pitching for the same Cardinals team, Erick Fedde is 3-7 with a 4.11 ERA. Pallante will likely face the Pirates next week.
