March 21, 2026
The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
Graceffo didn't allow an earned run through three innings in the Grapefruit League. However, he posted a 6.28 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 43 innings with the Cardinals last season, so they'll wait to see more from him in the minors before admitting him back into their big-league bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2023
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.
Graceffo's fastball was clocked at 100 mph in spring training and he dominated High-A hitters over eight starts (0.99 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, 56:4 K:BB in 45.2 innings). His dynasty value peaked when he got the bump to Double-A, but his strikeout rate fell from 33.9% to 21.9% and his fielding-independent metrics slipped (1.71 FIP at High-A, 5.07 FIP at Double-A) across 93.2 innings. The big 6-foot-4 power righty has a starter's pitch mix and good enough command to start, but regardless of the reason for the slip, it's hard to be too excited about a pitching prospect who logged a K/9 just under 8.0 in 18 starts as an age-appropriate pitcher at Double-A.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to start Wednesday?
PSt. Louis Cardinals  AAA
July 9, 2024
The Cardinals could promote Graceffo to start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals, reports Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.
Analysis
Andre Pallante is penciled in for Game 1 of the twin bill, but Wednesday's originally scheduled starter, Sonny Gray, isn't listed for the nightcap. St. Louis may be looking to get some extra rest in for its rotation ahead of the All-Star break, which would provide an opening for Graceffo to make a spot start in Wednesday's doubleheader. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut in late June and pitched well in long relief with one earned run allowed across 4.1 innings.
