PHILADELPHIA -- The Cardinals placed starter Andre Pallante on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right elbow inflammation.
The move is retroactive to Aug. 18.
The 27-year-old right-hander is 12-6 with a 3.57 ERA in 24 starts this season. He allowed 10 hits in six innings in a 6-5 loss to Cincinnati in his last start on Monday.
Pallante is in his third season in the Cardinals' rotation after spending the previous two years in the bullpen. He has 97 strikeouts and 41 walks in 136 innings pitched this season.
The 6-foot hurler was selected in the fourth round by the Cardinals in 2019.
To take Pallante’s place on the roster, St. Louis recalled right-hander Ryan Fernandez from Triple-A Memphis.
