Andre Pallante Placed on IL With Right Elbow Inflammation
The Cardinals placed RHP Andre Pallante on the IL with right elbow inflammation; no structural damage reported and the team expects a minimal stint, per the club.
The St. Louis Cardinals placed right-hander Andre Pallante on the IL with right elbow inflammation, per Aaron Bracy of MLB.com. The club reported no structural damage and expects a minimal stint, which is about as encouraging a framing as an elbow placement allows.
With Pallante unavailable, Hunter Dobbins drew the start, per beat reporter Derrick Goold.
What remains unconfirmed
No specific timetable for Pallante's return has been reported beyond the team's general expectation of a short absence. How much longer he sits beyond the IL minimum is still an open question.
The broader picture in St. Louis
The Cardinals are navigating a stretch with multiple roster concerns. Masyn Winn has been out of the starting lineup for two consecutive games with a left thumb injury, and JJ Wetherholt was examined by training staff after being hit by a pitch on the hamstring — though he remained in that game. Pallante's placement adds another thread to watch as the club manages its depth into late August.
