  • STL Starting Pitcher #39
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Wednesday’s game between the Royals and Cardinals has been postponed due to inclement weather.
    Only Mother Nature can keep rookie sensation Jac Caglianone from stepping onto a big-league diamond anymore. Both teams were going to have to endure several hours of waiting out rain showers before an extremely late start, so they’ve decided instead to play a doubleheader on Thursday afternoon. Wednesday’s original starting pitchers— Noah Cameron and Miles Mikolas — will presumably take the ball at some point during Thursday’s twin bill at Busch Stadium. Royals ace Cole Ragans (groin) will return from the injured list to start the nightcap affair against Cardinals lefty Matthew Liberatore.

    Matthew Liberatore allowed seven hits and five runs, four earned, with one walk and five strikeouts over five innings in a loss to the Rangers on Friday.
    For the first time in a long time, Liberatore ran into trouble during this start. The Rangers jumped on him for five runs through the first two innings and his command was off. His sliders didn’t have their usual bite and Josh Jung and Wyatt Langford turned around some cutters that got a hair too much of the plate. Still, he managed to settle down through the middle innings and saved his ratios a bit. He’s scheduled to face the Royals at home next time out.

    Matthew Liberatore limited the Diamondbacks to one run over seven innings in a no-decision Saturday.
    A Randal Grichuk homer was the only damage. Liberatore was lifted with a 3-1 lead after 88 pitches, and many Cardinals fans were left screaming mad after the D-backs came back with four runs off the bullpen in the eighth. Of course, it might have happened anyway; in the three early games today, four of the five starting pitchers besides Liberatore (including Merrill Kelly in this contest) were charged with runs after being left in to start an inning and getting pulled with no outs recorded. Liberatore is 3-3 with a terrific 2.73 ERA through 10 starts. He’s set to pitch in Texas next time out.

    Matthew Liberatore allowed one run in six innings and got a no-decision against the Royals on Sunday.
    Liberatore gave up six hits, walked one and struck out five. The 25-year-old left-hander has allowed two runs or less in his last seven starts. Liberatore’s 2.92 ERA is mostly supported by his 3.30 xFIP. He has a 47/8 K/BB ratio in 52 1/3 innings this year. Liberatore is lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home next weekend.
  • STL Relief Pitcher #52
    Matthew Liberatore pitched 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball Monday in a no-decision versus the Phillies.
    Liberatore gave up 11 hard-hit balls, but just one of those turned into an extra-base hit, and he also walked only one. We’re still skeptical that he’ll keep this up, but he’s been remarkably solid in amassing a 3.11 ERA in eight starts. He’ll face the Royals next.

    Matthew Liberatore was outstanding in Tuesday night’s victory over the Pirates, striking out eight batters over seven innings of one-run baseball.
    The 25-year-old southpaw allowed just three hits and three walks on the evening. All of the damage that was done against him came on an RBI double off the bat of Ke’Bryan Hayes with two outs in the sixth inning. Aside from that, he was in complete command. Liberatore got a whopping 17 swings and misses on 99 pitches on the night — seven of those on his heater — while registering an elite CSW of 38 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 38/6 K/BB ratio (41 innings) into Monday’s showdown against the Phillies in Philadelphia. It goes without saying, but if he’s hanging around on the waiver wire in any shallower formats, now is the time to rectify that.

    Matthew Liberatore yielded two runs in three innings before his start Thursday against the Reds was halted by a rain delay.
    Liberatore threw just 42 pitches before the 97-minute stoppage, so he could be brought back early if the Cardinals would like. They were planning on going to a six-man rotation, with Steven Matz starting again next week, but they have some options now.

    Matthew Liberatore logged a quality start in Friday night’s victory over the Brewers, allowing just two runs (one earned) on five hits over six-plus strong frames.
    Liberatore punched out four opposing hitters in the ballgame and didn’t allow a base on balls. The Brewers got to him for a run in the sixth inning on a two-out RBI single by Christian Yelich, then they scratched out an unearned run while chasing him in the seventh. The 25-year-old hurler got 10 whiffs on 89 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll see if he can keep the good times rolling as he carries a stellar 3.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 28/2 K/BB ratio (31 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Reds in Cincinnati.

    Matthew Liberatore allowed two runs with six strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings in a loss against the Mets on Saturday.
    Liberatore worked a pair of scoreless innings before the Mets got to him in the third, bringing two runs in on two doubles and a base hit. He then settled in for three more scoreless innings, leaving with two outs and one runner on in the seventh. He struck out six. The 25-year-old left-hander is enjoying a solid start to the season in the St. Louis rotation, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 24/2 K/BB ratio across 25 innings. Liberatore is in line to take on the Brewers in St. Louis next Saturday.

    Matthew Liberatore pitched three-hit ball for six innings in the Cardinals’ 7-0 shutout of the Phillies on Sunday.
    Liberatore showed his best velocity of the year today and wound up with seven strikeouts. The 28 sliders he threw produced 10 missed swings and two weakly hit balls, one of which was a bunt. His other pitches were hit harder, but he still yielded just three singles in moving to 1-1 with a 3.93 ERA. His next start is due to come against the Mets in New York.
