The Cardinals announced that they’ve placed right-hander Giovanny Gallegos on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain. They recalled righty Nabil Crismatt from their alternate training site in a corresponding move.
The loss of Gallegos is a significant one for the Cardinals, considering what he has meant to their bullpen since he broke out in 2019. He posted a 2.31 ERA/3.05 FIP in 74 innings then in his first season as a Cardinal and has continued to be a key member of their relief corps this year, having tossed 11 1/3 frames of 3.97 ERA/2.65 FIP pitching with 11.12 K/9 and 2.38 BB/9.
Along with notching strong bottom-line results, Gallegos leads the playoff-contending Cardinals with four saves. Andrew Miller is the only other Cardinal with more than one save (two). Miller and John Gant, St. Louis’ best reliever this year, could be next in line for save chances now that Gallegos is out. It’s unclear how much time Gallegos will miss, but with so little time left, it’s possible he won’t return to the Cardinals this regular season.
Crap
Well said, stolicm
Tough loss for the cardinals. Andrew Miller has looked good this year though.
Gant has been great also…it does suck though because it makes the pecking order different
Dominic Leone was just DFA’d, long shot but couldn’t hurt
They dont need him. They have depth out the ying yang. Ignore the .500 record. Its not real.
really?? Cabrera just went down.. sounds like the Ying just kicked yang’s hoohaa
Let Alex Reyes close games.
