Cardinals Option Fernandez, Activate Pallante
St. Louis made a roster move ahead of their game in Colorado, sending Fernandez down to clear a spot for starter Andrea Pallante.
The Cardinals optioned Fernandez to make room for Andrea Pallante's return to the active roster. Pallante started against the Rockies in Denver, pitching 5 innings. The move also likely shifted Mautz to a bullpen role. Pallante's return was notable as the Cardinals were on a 9-game road trip across three cities.
