Andre Granillo Fantasy Stats

The St. Louis Cardinals are promoting right-handed pitching prospect Andre Granillo to the major leagues before their contest on Friday evening against the San Diego Padres. The 25-year-old made his MLB debut earlier this season. During his first taste in the big leagues, the right-hander tossed 11 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.38 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. During this stint, he struck out seven hitters and held a stellar 4.3% walk rate. The University of California - Riverside product has presented the majority of the campaign at Triple-A. With Memphis, Granillo has been one of the most reliable relievers on the team as he has held a 1.50 ERA with a 0.86 WHIP across 36 innings. With Ryan Helsley and Phil Maton being traded, Granillo could have a path to eventually earning a high-leverage role in the St. Louis bullpen.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Andre Granillo had a day to remember on Thursday, collecting his first career win and first career save across the Cards' doubleheader with the Chicago White Sox. In Game 1, Granillo came into the game with two outs and runners on second and first in a tie ballgame, and was able to get out of the jam. The Cardinals then took the lead, giving Granillo the win. In Game 2, Granillo tossed a scoreless bottom of the 10th with the Cards' up 8-6 to secure his first save. The 25-year-old now has four straight scoreless appearances to start his career. There aren't any fantasy implications here, but it is a cool story nonetheless.
