The St. Louis Cardinals Shake Up Roster: Erick Fedde Designated for Assignment, Andre Granillo Recalled

The St. Louis Cardinals have made a bold and significant move, shaking up their roster by designating starting pitcher Erick Fedde for assignment. In his place, the team has recalled RHP Andre Granillo from their AAA affiliate, Memphis.

This decision comes as a surprise to many, as Fedde has been a consistent presence in the Cardinals’ starting rotation. However, with a recent string of lackluster performances, the team has decided to make a change in hopes of improving their overall performance.

Granillo, on the other hand, has been excelling in the minor leagues and has earned his call-up to the major league team. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 2.50 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 10 appearances for Memphis this season.

This move also serves as a wake-up call for Fedde, who will now have to fight for his spot on the team or potentially be traded to another organization. The Cardinals are not afraid to make bold moves in order to improve their chances of success, and this decision is a testament to their commitment to winning.

Only time will tell if this roster shake-up will pay off for the Cardinals, but one thing is for sure: the team is not afraid to make bold moves in pursuit of victory. Stay tuned for updates on how this change will impact the Cardinals’ performance on the field.  

Cardinals Make Shocking Announcement After Devastating Loss to Rockies

The St. Louis Cardinals have dropped a bombshell on their fans, announcing that they have designated starting pitcher Erick Fedde for assignment. This move comes as a surprise to many, especially considering the team acquired him just a year ago in a major trade with the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fedde’s performance on the mound has been far from impressive, with his most recent outing against the Rockies resulting in a disappointing 8-4 defeat. This loss adds to a string of setbacks for Fedde, who hasn’t secured a win since May 9. In fact, he has a record of 3-10 this season with a high 5.20 ERA in 20 appearances, allowing a total of 26 earned runs in just 17 and 2/3 innings.

Before joining the Cardinals, Fedde had a successful 2024 season with the White Sox and Cardinals, recording a 3.30 ERA in 31 starts and 177 and 1/3 innings. However, his performance has taken a sharp decline since then.

What’s Next for Fedde?

Unfortunately for Fedde, his time with the Cardinals has come to an end. He is expected to join another team as a free agent at the end of the season. The Cardinals have a week to make a decision on his future, whether that means trading him, placing him on waivers, releasing him, or sending him to the minors.

Financial Implications

It’s worth noting that Fedde is still owed $7.5 million for the remainder of his contract this season. This could potentially impact the Cardinals’ decision on what to do with him.
