Player Outlook
Gordon Graceffo had some helium as a pitching prospect in 2022 when a velocity spike led to excellent numbers in his first full pro season. However, the velocity and results have gone in the wrong direction since then as Graceffo has managed just a 4.88 ERA and 1.55 WHIP at Triple-A Memphis. Graceffo did hold his own in a couple appearances with the Cardinals in 2024 and will likely make the Opening Day roster in 2025 since he's out of minor-league options. A shift to the bullpen could allow his stuff to play up again, but a path to fantasy relevancy looks quite narrow.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Opening season at Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. Graceffo's demotion to Triple-A comes after president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said earlier Thursday that the Cardinals prefer to continue developing the 24-year-old right-hander as a starter. Though he didn't make much of a push for a spot in St. Louis' Opening Day rotation this spring, Graceffo appeared to be in the running for a long-relief role until the Cardinals signed Phil Maton to a one-year deal Thursday. Graceffo will continue to get stretched out at minor-league camp and will make regular turns through the Memphis rotation to stay prepared in the event a starting role in St. Louis opens up at some point later in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Would continue starting in minors

    Rotowire
    Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Thursday that Graceffo would be used as a starting pitcher if he begins the season at Triple-A Memphis, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The Cardinals are looking at Graceffo for a possible bullpen role this spring, and while he's still got a shot to open the season with the big club in that role, the signing of Phil Maton on Thursday eliminates one open relief role. Mozeliak noted that Graceffo could still be used in relief with the big club later on even if he begins in the rotation at Memphis, as the club wants him on a regular schedule and with a plan to work on things. Graceffo has allowed six runs (five earned) with a 9:3 K:BB over 6.2 frames this spring.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: In good position for bullpen spot

    Rotowire
    Graceffo is in a good position to land a spot in the Cardinals' Opening Day bullpen, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. It's not clear whether the Cardinals have committed to making Graceffo a full-time reliever yet, but that's the role he's competing for this spring and he's impressed with nine strikeouts over 5.2 frames. Slated to turn 25 later this month, Graceffo's stock has taken a hit the last two years with middling results in the Triple-A Memphis rotation, but his stuff is playing up in shorter bursts.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Being considered for relief role

    Rotowire
    Graceffo is under consideration for a spot in the Cardinals' Opening Day bullpen, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Graceffo gave up a solo homer in two innings of work against the Mets in his Grapefruit League debut Monday, but he topped out at 97.1 mph with his fastball and induced four whiffs on six swings on his curveball. Manager Oliver Marmol referred to the appearance as "pretty electric." Graceffo has been a starter throughout the minors, but his progress has stalled out at Triple-A Memphis the last two years and a full-time shift to the bullpen might be the best thing for him and the Cardinals at this point.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Returns to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. As expected, Graceffo's latest stint with the Cardinals lasted just one day, as St. Louis called him from Triple-A Memphis to serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals. He made his first MLB start in the second game of the twin bill and was the pitcher of record in the Cardinals' 8-5 loss, working 3.1 innings and striking out two batters while allowing three earned runs on four hits and no walks.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Dealt loss in first MLB start

    Rotowire
    Graceffo dropped to 0-1 in the Cardinals' 8-5 loss to the Royals in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 3.1 innings. Graceffo tossed 4.1 frames and gave up just one run in his major-league debut June 29, but he worked in long relief in that outing. The right-hander wasn't as effective Wednesday in his first big-league start, though he yielded just one run on two hits through three innings. Kansas City notched back-to-back hits against Graceffo to begin the fourth, however, and he was pulled after a sacrifice fly yielded the Royals' second run. Another tally was charged to his ledger after his departure, and the Cardinals were never able to take the rookie off the hook for the loss. Graceffo served as the team's 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll likely be headed back to Triple-A Memphis in short order.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Making first MLB start Wednesday

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals are expected to recall Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis to make his first major-league start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Sonny Gray is on turn for St. Louis, but the club will push him back for Friday's matchup versus the Cubs. Graceffo will serve as the 27th man for the Cardinals and will be returned to Memphis after the spot start. The right-hander pitched well in long relief in his major-league debut last month, allowing one run with a 4:2 K:BB over 4.1 innings against the Reds. Graceffo holds a 2.22 ERA and 26:10 K:BB in 28.1 frames with Memphis since the beginning of June.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Returns to minors

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday. The 24-year-old was called up Friday and made his MLB debut Saturday versus Cincinnati, and he pitched well in long relief with just one run allowed across 4.1 innings. Graceffo won't be available for a few days following that appearance, so Jacob Bosiokovic will come up as a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Makes debut Saturday

    Rotowire
    Graceffo allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings of relief in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Reds. Graceffo was called on for mop-up duty after an unusually poor start from Sonny Gray and an ineffective relief appearance by John King. The Cardinals' bullpen has been leaned on heavily of late, and Graceffo was called up Friday to provide length after working as a starter with Triple-A Memphis. He has a 3.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 70:29 K:BB over 75 innings with Memphis this year. It's unclear if the right-hander will stick around in the majors or return to Memphis after this 67-pitch appearance, which was his first in 10 days.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Added to roster

    Rotowire
    The Cardinals selected Graceffo's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Friday. Graceffo has posted a 3.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 70:29 K:BB across 75 frames with Memphis this season. All 14 of his appearances have been starts, and while it's possible he'll get a look in the rotation eventually with the Cardinals, the plan for now is to break him in as a reliever. Graceffo will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Adapting well in Double-A

    Rotowire
    Graceffo went seven innings for Double-A Springfield on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits without a walk while striking out six. He now has a 2.78 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB in 22.2 innings spanning four starts since his promotion. The strikeouts have dropped off noticeably from his spectacular High-A results (11.2 K/9 for Peoria; just 7.3 with Springfield), but Graceffo continues to display pinpoint control. It's reasonable to think that he'll increase his whiffs as he goes along, too. Graceffo has pitched a career-high seven innings in each of his last two outings, striking out six both times. His results bear watching as the Double-A season continues.
