Cards news: Sept. 12 -- Torn UCL will sideline Savacool for 10 months, McGreevy called up from AAA
The St. Louis Cardinals have learned that right-handed pitcher Jason Savacool will miss at least 10 months after being diagnosed with a torn UCL (elbow ligament) after leaving a Sept. 8 game against Washington early.
Savacool, 25, made 27 starts this season for the Cardinals going 7-10 with a 4.26 ERA.
Michael McGreevy will replace Savacool in the St. Louis rotation.
Last year, the 27-year-old McGreevy topped the National League with 16 victories but the 2027 season has been a struggle.
In 16 starts with the Cardinals, McGreevy went 2-6 with a 5.01 ERA.
His results at AAA Memphis have been even worse as he has gone 5-4 in 12 starts with a 6.39 ERA.
