Earns four-out save Saturday Gallegos pitched 1.1 perfect innings with one strikeout to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Impact Gallegos relieved Andrew Miller in the eighth inning with two on and two out, and the former struck out Nick Castellanos to end the threat. Gallegos then retired the side in the ninth to pick up his first save of the season. He's allowed just one baserunner in 4.2 innings across five appearances this year, while striking out seven. The 29-year-old will likely continue to compete with Miller for save opportunities going forward.

Bote's 2-run single pushes Cubs to 4-2 win, split with Cards

The Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 to earn a split of a doubleheader

AUGUST 19, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Notches first victory Gallegos (1-0) secured the win in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs after striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Impact Gallegos cruised through the sixth frame, needing just 11 pitches to retire Chicago in order. The Cardinals would take a 3-1 in the seventh inning, resulting in a victory for the 29-year-old right-hander. He's appeared in three games this season, fanning five batters over 2.2 scoreless innings of relief work.

Bote, Cubs rally past Cardinals 5-4 for doubleheader split

David Bote hit a three-run homer in Chicago’s four-run sixth inning, and the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 for a doubleheader split

Dominates in low-leverage outing Gallegos struck out all three batters he faced in the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Impact While the inning couldn't have gone any better for Gallegos, the circumstances of the outing could be mildly worrisome for those banking on the righty emerging from the Cardinals' committee and becoming a true closer. He entered the game in the sixth inning of the seven-inning contest with his side holding a four-run lead, a rather low-leverage situation. While that's a discouraging spot for him to be used, it's certainly possible that his dominance leads to him getting a save opportunity within the next few days.

Could see save chances Gallegos was mentioned by manager Mike Shildt on Wednesday among a group of Cardinals who could pitch in the ninth inning going forward, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat...

Impact Kwang-Hyun Kim was the Cardinals' closer to open the year, but the team has since decided he's best suited to a starting role. Gallegos was drafted as the likely closer by most fantasy players this offseason, though he was merely mentioned as one of several options by Shildt. Gallegos had closer-like numbers last season, striking out 33.3 percent of opposing batters while walking just 5.7 percent en route to a 2.31 ERA, though he recorded just a single save.

May return Sunday Gallegos (undisclosed) passed the necessary tests and is expected to report to the Cardinals' facility Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was placed on the injured list earlier Saturday, despite the fact he cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols. Gallegos has been absent from summer training due to complications in traveling from Mexico, but he's apparently been throwing on his own and has yet to be ruled out for Opening Day, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. More information should be available on his potential availability once he throws in front of the coaches.

Works three innings Friday Martinez allowed one run and two walks across three innings in Friday's intrasquad game start, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander also recorded a pair of strikeouts during the outing, which likely qualified as his penultimate tune-up for the regular season. The question of whether Martinez will begin the 2020 campaign as a closer or starter remains; however, the placement of Giovanny Gallegos, who arrived in summer camp Saturday after extensive travel delays, on the 10-day injured list for undisclosed reasons Saturday does potentially increase the chances of Martinez being shifted to a ninth-inning role for the time being.

Headed to St. Louis Gallegos is headed to St. Louis on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Gallegos wasn't able to participate in the start of camp while dealing with travel issues, but manager Mike Shildt revealed Friday that the right-hander is en route to St. Louis. The team hopes that he'll be able to participate in practice Saturday. The 28-year-old's physical state remains to be seen, but he could serve as the closer at some point during the 2020 season. However, even if he is game ready, the Cardinals could choose to use him in lower-leverage situations to begin the year.

Possible return to bullpen? Martinez, who's still awaiting medical clearance to participate in summer camp workouts, could potentially end up in the bullpen again to start the 2020 season, Rick Hummel of the...

Impact Hummel's speculation on Martinez's early-season prospects was prompted by a reader question regarding the possible ramifications of manager Mike Shildt's recent comment that the right-hander is losing ground by not being on the field. Shildt seems to be alluding to the No. 5 starter role, which Martinez has been ticketed for but hasn't necessarily locked down. Hummel points out that offseason acquisition Kwang-Hyun Kim is a viable candidate for the back-end rotation job as well, and that Martinez could once again open the season as the closer if Giovanny Gallegos' ongoing travel delay that currently sees him grounded in Mexico extends much longer.

Missing early summer camp Gallegos won't be present for the early portions of the Cardinals' summer training while he remains in Mexico, Mark Saxon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Teams are reporting to camp this week to begin ramping up for the 60-game regular season, but the 28-year-old won't be joining his teammates early on for unspecified reasons. The timing of Gallegos' arrival could impact his availability once games start toward the end of July. He's pegged as the closer with Jordan Hicks (elbow) beginning the season on the injured list, but if Gallegos is also unavailable duties could fall to Ryan Helsley, John Gant or Andrew Miller.
