Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Might take Fedde's spot in rotation
Rotowire
The Cardinals are having "internal discussion" about McGreevy replacing Erick Fedde in the rotation and starting Saturday against Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fedde has been pummeled for 17 runs over his last three starts and lasted only 1.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. The team is expected to use its off day Monday to decide whether to let Fedde take his next turn Saturday or give that opportunity to McGreevy instead. McGreevy also started Sunday at Triple-A Memphis, so he is on the same schedule as Fedde, though he was torched for eight runs over three innings in Sunday's outing. In three starts and one relief appearance with the Cardinals in 2025, McGreevy holds a 4.22 ERA and 16:3 K:BB over 21.1 innings.
Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Notches no-decision Tuesday
Rotowire
McGreevy didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, giving up five runs on seven hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out one.
The 24-year-old right-hander wasn't at his best against a tough Cubs lineup, conceding a season-high five runs. It was also the shortest outing of the season for McGreevy, who fanned fewer than five for the first time in his four appearances. McGreevy's next turn in the Cardinals' rotation is tentatively slated for next week in Pittsburgh against the last-place Pirates, although it's possible Tuesday was only a spot start. He owns a serviceable 4.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through his first 21.1 innings this season.

Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned McGreevy to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
McGreevy struggled in a spot start in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Cubs, giving up five runs on seven hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He will rejoin the Memphis rotation but should be the first pitcher to be called upon the next time the Cardinals require another starter.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Will start Tuesday
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that McGreevy will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis to start Tuesday against the Cubs at Busch Stadium, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
McGreevy will pick up his third start of the season with the Cardinals and his second in less than a week after he most recently pitched last Thursday, when he took a no-decision in the second game of a doubleheader against the White Sox after allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings. Because he was designated as the 27th man for the twin bill before being optioned to Triple-A on Friday, McGreevy will be eligible to rejoin the Cardinals early without having to wait 15 days. The Cardinals aren't expected to have an opening in the rotation for McGreevy beyond Tuesday, so he could be sent back to Memphis again following the start.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Likely to make spot start Tuesday
Rotowire
The Cardinals are likely to recall McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
McGreevy was returned to Memphis on Friday following a spot start in Thursday's doubleheader versus the White Sox, but because he was serving as the club's 27th man that day, he is eligible to be recalled immediately rather than having to wait the typical 15 days. Giving McGreevy another spot start allows the Cardinals to provide extra rest for the regular members of their rotation amidst a stretch without many off days. The rookie right-hander tossed five innings of one-run ball against the White Sox and boasts a 2.70 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB over 16.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Returned to Triple-A
Rotowire
McGreevy was returned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
McGreevy was up as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, and he made the start in the second game, allowing just one run on three hits and one walk across five innings. McGreevy struck out five and was in line for the win, as he left the game with a 6-1 lead before the St. Louis bullpen coughed it up in the late innings. McGreevy has made a pair of starts in doubleheaders for the Cardinals this season and has appeared in three games total. He heads back to Triple-A with an impressive 2.70 ERA and 15:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings of work. McGreevy will be back up at some point, but there's not currently a spot for him in the rotation. One would open up if the Cardinals opt to move one of their contract-year starters at the deadline.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Could make another spot start
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated Monday that McGreevy could make another spot start later this month, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The Cardinals elected to send McGreevy back to Triple-A Memphis following a spot start against the Dodgers on Sunday. By rule, he must remain at Memphis for 15 days before being recalled, which means McGreevy could be back for a start as soon as June 24 at home against the Cubs. The Cardinals would be able to bring McGreevy back before then if another player is placed on a reserve list in a corresponding move.
