ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Andre Pallante - Takes no-decision Wednesday Pallante allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Wednesday.

Impact Pallante has allowed no more than two runs in each of his last four starts. In that span, he's given up seven runs (six earned) with a 17:10 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He's been effective as a starter this year, pitching to a 3.50 ERA over 82.1 innings across his 14 starts. Overall, he has a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 68:35 K:BB through 92.1 innings. Steven Matz (back) may be an option for the Cardinals' rotation next week, but the team has considered moving to a six-man rotation in September, so Pallante may still be used as a starter to finish the campaign.

AUGUST 29 • DATA SKRIVE

Steven Matz - Completes sixth rehab start Matz (back) struck out three batters and gave up four runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks over three innings in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis.

Impact Matz tossed 64 pitches (45 strikes) in his sixth rehab start, with the Cardinals deliberating scaling back his workload Tuesday after he tossed 85 pitches and five innings his last time out for the Triple-A club Aug. 21. Though Matz is expected to return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance with the Cardinals, a decision hasn't been made whether he'll slot into the rotation or serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. Per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, the Cardinals have already confirmed their starting pitchers through Sunday, so if Matz does in fact rejoin the rotation, he won't take the hill until at least Monday's series opener in Milwaukee.

Matt Carpenter - Not in Wednesday's lineup Carpenter is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Padres.

Impact Carpenter made five starts at designated hitter in a six-game stretch but has now been out of the lineup for two in a row against righties. San Diego's starter Wednesday, Joe Musgrove, does have reverse splits this season, which surely factored into Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol's decision to go with Luken Baker at DH.

Victor Scott - Not in St. Louis lineup Scott is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact It's a day off for Scott, who had started each of the previous six contests, reaching base nine times over that span. Lars Nootbaar will shift over to center field and be flanked by Tommy Pham in left and Alec Burleson in right.

Quinn Mathews - Promoted to Triple-A Mathews has been promoted from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis.

Impact It will be the fourth level this season for one of the game's breakout pitching prospects. Mathews leads all of the minor leagues with 180 strikeouts over 126.2 innings in his first three stops, posting a 2.27 ERA along the way. The left-hander was particularly dominant in his last five starts at Springfield, collecting a 0.85 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 49:5 K:BB over 31.2 innings. It might be a tough ask for Mathews to reach the majors in 2024, but he's positioning himself to spend ample time in the Cardinals' rotation in 2025.

Sem Robberse - Working back from elbow injury Robberse (elbow) gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings in a rehab start for Single-A Palm Beach on Tuesday.

Impact According to MLB Pipeline, Robberse started dealing with elbow tightness in June and officially began his rehab assignment Aug. 13. The Dutch righty logged a 4.65 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 71.2 innings across 13 appearances for Triple-A Memphis before landing on the 7-day injured list June 18.

Victor Scott - Swipes bag in loss Scott went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

Impact Scott has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with a home run and three steals over his last six contests. The rookie outfielder is batting .226 during his current stint in the majors, but that's a significant improvement over his .157 average for the season. He's up to five steals, two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored and seven doubles through 130 plate appearances. Scott will likely continue to handle a starting role in center field until Michael Siani (oblique) returns from his rehab assignment.

John King - Stuck with third loss King (3-3) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over one inning to take the loss Tuesday versus the Padres. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact King got the last out of the sixth inning in relief of Miles Mikolas, but he then stumbled in the seventh. Since the All-Star break, King has a 5.11 ERA and 5:3 K:BB over 12.1 innings while taking two losses and one blown save. While he is regressing, this has still been his best major-league season -- the southpaw has a 3.10 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 39.1 innings while adding seven holds this year.

Paul Goldschmidt - Launches homer No. 20 Goldschmidt went 3-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

Impact The 36-year-old first baseman took Bryan Hoeing deep in the fifth inning to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead, but the team's offense went cold the rest of the way. It was Goldschmidt's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 12 and he's slashing just .221/.294/.429 through 85 plate appearances on the month, but Tuesday's long ball was his 20th of the season -- the 11th time in his career he's reached that plateau.

Miles Mikolas - Overcomes shaky start Tuesday Mikolas came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Padres, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact The veteran righty appeared to be headed for another rough outing when San Diego jumped on him for four runs in the second inning, but Mikolas shook it off and left the mound after 93 pitches (63 strikes) with St. Louis having taken a 5-4 lead. The Cards' bullpen couldn't get him his ninth win of the year, however. Mikolas has been tagged for at least four runs in four of five August starts, leaving him with an ugly 6.39 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB through 25.1 innings on the month. He's scheduled to make his next trip to the mound on the road early next week in Milwaukee.
