  "account": "The St. Louis Cardinals have placed pitcher Andre Pallante on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. This development comes as the team battles for a spot in the NL wild card standings. Ryan Fernandez has been called up from Triple-A Memphis to fill the gap left by Pallante's absence. The Cardinals are hopeful that the 6-foot righty will be able to return to pitching as soon as the 15-day injured list period ends. Pallante has had a standout season in 2026, posting a 12-6 record in 24 appearances with a 3.57 ERA and 97 strikeouts. Over his five-year career with the Cardinals, including 193 MLB games across five seasons, Pallante has compiled a 36-35 record, a 4.15 ERA, and 418 strikeouts.",
