Impact Before being acquired from the White Sox on Monday, Fedde made his final start with the Pale Hose this past Saturday. Following Monday's trade, Fedde won't join the Cardinals in St. Louis before their series with the Rangers comes to an end Wednesday, as he'll instead remain in Chicago while waiting for his new teammates to arrive Thursday. Fedde went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over his 21 starts with the White Sox this season.

Michael McGreevy - Set for MLB debut Wednesday The Cardinals will call up McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Cardinals are in a stretch of 16 games without a day off, so they'll give McGreevy a spot start in order to provide some rest for their regular rotation members. It will be the major-league debut for the first-round pick after McGreevy held a 4.45 ERA and 96:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings covering 20 starts with Memphis. He is not currently on the 40-man roster.

Chase Davis - Moves up to High-A Davis was promoted from Single-A Palm Beach to High-A Peoria on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

Impact A first-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Davis really struggled at Palm Beach last year and for the first two months of this season, but he got going this June and has put up a .917 OPS with six home runs since the start of that month. He'll now be tested against a higher level of competition.

Matt Carpenter - Hits third homer Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Carpenter has essentially been a bench bat throughout July, and with the Cardinals looking to buy ahead of the trade deadline, his role may be further reduced down the stretch. The 38-year-old is slashing just .255/.322/.377 with three homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and four doubles across 118 plate appearances this season. Alec Burleson and Willson Contreras continue to see most of the playing time at designated hitter, and Carpenter's in no position to challenge Paul Goldschmidt for first base.

Andre Pallante - Suffers fifth loss Pallante (4-5) took the loss Monday against Texas, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact The 25-year-old entered this outing on a roll, pitching to a 2.79 ERA across 19.1 innings in three July starts, but failed to reach the sixth for the first time this month. Pallante managed to limit the damage in this 92-pitch performance as he didn't allow a homer for the sixth time in 10 games started. However, his role in the St. Louis rotation is murky as the Cardinals acquired Erick Fedde on Monday, likely pushing Pallante into the bullpen as a middle reliever.

Nolan Gorman - Idle against righty Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Impact After he was on the bench against left-handers in three of the past four games, the lefty-hitting Gorman will hit the bench versus a righty (Nathan Eovaldi) on Monday. According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, Gorman doesn't appear to have lost hold of a regular spot in the lineup against right-handers, as manager Carlos Marmol said Gorman is on the bench Monday because he wanted to open up a start at designated hitter for Matt Carpenter, who has had success against Eovaldi during his career.

Tekoah Roby - Ramping up throwing program Roby (shoulder) is slated to ramp up his throwing program, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Roby has been sidelined since mid-May with a right shoulder problem but would appear to finally be making progress. Between the injury and a 6.75 ERA in his first 33.1 innings before getting hurt, it's been a rough developmental year for Roby.

Cooper Hjerpe - Shut down two more weeks Hjerpe will remain shut down for two more weeks while dealing with a left elbow injury, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Hjerpe hasn't pitched since July 2 and with two more weeks of down time, it would be a surprise if he's ready for game action before September. He had surgery last August to remove a loose body from his elbow, but the exact nature of the injury isn't clear this time around. Hjerpe has posted a 3.27 ERA and 76:28 K:BB over 52.1 innings covering 15 starts between the High- and Double-A levels in 2024.
