McGreevy (3-0) allowed a run on five hits over eight innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Giants.
McGreevy let just one Giant reach scoring position through six frames before finally coughing up an RBI single to Brett Wisely in the seventh inning. McGreevy was very efficient, throwing 64 of 91 pitches for strikes, though he forced only seven whiffs. He was impressive during his short rookie season; McGreevy posted a 1.96 ERA and an 18:2 K:BB through 23 frames.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: No-decision at Colorado
Rotowire
McGreevy allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
McGreevy left the game down 3-2, but the Cardinals were able to rally ahead to get him off the hook. The rookie has pitched to a 2.40 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB over his first 15 innings in the majors, and this was the first time in three appearances (two starts) he didn't come away with a win. McGreevy is tentatively projected to start the Cardinals' season finale in San Francisco on Sunday.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Joining rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
McGreevy is listed as the Cardinals' scheduled starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.
After being called up from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, McGreevy was put to work out of the bullpen a day later in the Cardinals' game against the Pirates. He scooped up the win while tossing three scoreless innings in relief, and he'll now get the chance to enter the St. Louis rotation for the final week of the season due to Lance Lynn (knee) and Sonny Gray (forearm) both recently going on the injured list. Unless the Cardinals elect to expand their rotation to six men by moving Steven Matz from the bullpen, McGreevy will tentatively line up for two starts during the final week of the season. After Tuesday's contest in Colorado, McGreevy would be lined up to take the hill for the finale Sunday in San Francisco.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Earns win in relief
Rotowire
McGreevy (2-0) allowed two hits and struck out four without walking a batter over three scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday over Pirates.
The Cardinals' six-run rally in the seventh inning gave McGreevy a lead, and he didn't let the Pirates back in. He's won both of his major-league appearances this season, the other one being an excellent seven-inning start versus the Rangers on July 31. Lance Lynn's season is done due to renewed right knee inflammation, which gives McGreevy an opportunity to potentially pick up a start in the final week if the Cardinals want to stick with a six-man rotation.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Cardinals recalled McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
St. Louis' initial plan appears to be using McGreevy in relief, though he could be a candidate to make a start or two before the season comes to a close. He went seven frames of one-run ball in a spot start earlier this season in his major-league debut and collected a 4.02 ERA and 138:44 K:BB across 150 innings covering 27 outings at Memphis.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
The Cardinals are expected to recall McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis prior to Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
McGreevy was scratched from a scheduled start Tuesday for Memphis, and that move was evidently made because he's headed back to the majors. While a start down the stretch is possible, McGreevy is expected to be available in long relief for now. He threw seven innings of one-run ball in a spot start in his major-league debut in late July.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Sent back to Memphis
Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned McGreevy to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
McGreevy was impressive during his MLB debut Wednesday, throwing seven innings of one-run ball while coming away with the win. However, he will be sent back to Triple-A to clear a rotation spot for Erick Fedde, who was acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Monday.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Impressive in big-league debut
Rotowire
McGreevy (1-0) earned the win over Texas on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters over seven innings.
McGreevy wasn't overpowering, but he had good control and allowed just one extra-base hit over his seven frames. The right-hander has never posted big strikeout numbers in the minors, and he recorded a 4.45 ERA across 109.1 innings with Triple-A Memphis this season prior to his call-up Wednesday, so fantasy managers are likely best served tempering expectations rather than rushing to the waiver wire to claim the 24-year-old. This was likely just a spot start in the majors for McGreevy, though he certainly showed enough to be a consideration for St. Louis the next time a spare arm is needed.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Promoted ahead of MLB debut
Rotowire
The Cardinals selected McGreevy's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
McGreevy will start Wednesday's series finale against the Rangers in what will be his major-league debut. The right-hander has put up pedestrian numbers at Memphis this season, collecting a 4.45 ERA and 96:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings. He's been at his best over the last two months, though, with a 2.94 ERA and 52:19 K:BB across 52 frames since June 1. McGreevy is expected to be sent back down to Memphis after the spot start.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Set for MLB debut Wednesday
Rotowire
The Cardinals will call up McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
The Cardinals are in a stretch of 16 games without a day off, so they'll give McGreevy a spot start in order to provide some rest for their regular rotation members. The 2021 first-round pick will be making his major-league debut Wednesday after turning in a 4.45 ERA and 96:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings covering 20 starts with Memphis. He's not currently on the Cardinals' 40-man roster.
McGreevy was promoted to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
McGreevy began the year with Double-A Springfield after producing an unremarkable 4.64 ERA in 20 starts there last season. The Cardinals evidently didn't need to see much to move him up to the next level, as he got the call after recording a 1.45 ERA in three starts. Getting to the doorstep of the big leagues presumably puts him in consideration for a promotion later this season, though he's not yet on the 40-man roster.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Sent down to minors camp
Rotowire
McGreevy was reassigned Saturday to minor-league camp by the Cardinals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
McGreevy was the Cardinals' first-round pick in 2021, and the 22-year-old wasn't a serious contender to open the year with St. Louis. The right-hander advanced to Double-A last season, however, and he has a chance to make his MLB debut before 2023 comes to a close.

Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Jumps to Double-A
Rotowire
The Cardinals promoted McGreevy from High-A Peoria to Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
McGreevy will be joined in Springfield by two of the Cardinals' other top prospects in shortstop Masyn Winn and right-hander Gordon Graceffo, who were also bumped up from High-A Peoria. Over his eight starts with Peoria this season, the 21-year-old McGreevy turned in a 2.58 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 41:4 K:BB across 45.1 innings.
