The St. Louis Cardinals designated starting pitcher Erick Fedde for assignment today.
Rookie reliever Andre Granillo was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to fill the roster spot.
This opens a rotation spot for Michael McGreevy, finally.
Erick Fedde, a 32-year-old right-hander, struggled in 2025 with a 3-10 record and 5.22 ERA over 20 starts, allowing 106 hits in 101.2 innings. His 7.32 ERA in nine starts since June 1, yielding 32 earned runs in 39.5 innings, led to his designation. His $7.5 million salary for 2025 complicates his next steps, with trade, waivers, or release possible.

Andre Granillo, a 25-year-old rookie, has shown promise with a 1.35 ERA in five MLB appearances. His historic debut on June 12, 2025, included a win, save, and strikeout in one game. His minor league stats, including a 2.68 ERA in Springfield, suggest he could bolster the Cardinals’ bullpen.
