Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Back up to majors

The Cardinals recalled Pallante from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Reliever Nick Robertson (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Before being sent down to the minors April 21, Pallante appeared in nine games for the Cardinals, registering a 6.30 ERA and 1.90 WHIP across 10 frames. The 25-year-old right-hander has since been deployed as a starter for Memphis, and he worked 4.1 innings in his most recent outing May 17. He could be used as a spot starter for Wednesday's game against the Reds, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
