Cardinals agreed to terms with RHP Andre Pallante on a one-year, $4 million contract.

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.

Andre Pallante allowed five runs -- two earned -- with four strikeouts over 2 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Tuesday.

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.

Andre Pallante yielded four runs while working five innings in a loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

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 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.

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.

Andre Pallante was hammered for five runs over 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Marlins.

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 struck out four batters on the afternoon while issuing three free passes.

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.

Andre Pallante allowed six runs — five earned — on nine hits in just 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.

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.

Andre Pallante will start on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

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.

Andre Pallante allowed eight hits and seven runs with one walk and two strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

Pallante got off to a bad start here when Nathaniel Lowe took him deep for a three-run home run in the first inning.

This was only the second time since May 10th where Pallante let in more than three runs despite never being a guy that forces many swings-and-misses.

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.

Pitching for the same Cardinals team, Erick Fedde is 3-7 with a 4.11 ERA. Pallante will likely face the Pirates next week.

Pallante kept the ball on the ground tonight, and the nine hard-hit balls he surrendered produced only one double and one single.

The 26-year-old right-hander struck out a pair of batters on the night and didn’t allow a walk. Pallante served up a two-run homer to Bobby Witt Jr. in the opening inning, but then settled in after the Cardinals staked him to a 7-2 lead. That all fell apart in the fifth though, as he gave up a one-out solo homer to Nick Loftin and then four consecutive singles, including a two-run knock off the bat of Witt. Pallante got just six whiffs on 71 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of only 24 percent. Despite a miserable 4.91 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 44/23 K/BB ratio (66 innings) on the season, the Cardinals will probably still trot Pallante out there against the Blue Jays on Monday instead of giving Michael McGreevy the opportunity he deserves.
