Trevor Rosenthal has not allowed a run since April 24.
Rosenthal had a rough first month but is back to his dominating ways here in May. The hard-throwing 22-year-old right-hander boasts a 2.42 ERA and 32/6 K/BB ratio in 22 1/3 innings this season and should continue to be a solid source of holds all year. He has been the most heavily-used reliever in the major leagues thus far. May 20 - 11:44 AM

Trevor Rosenthal said that he’s "still trying to get comfortable" with his location and off-speed pitches.

Rosenthal has allowed 13 hits in 9 2/3 innings this season, so the Cardinals don't trust him in save situations right now. With just Edward Mujica ahead of him, Rosenthal has a good chance to win the job eventually. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes that 11 of the 12 fastballs Rosenthal threw in his last appearance reached 99 mph or faster. If he can make the right adjustments, Rosenthal should have no trouble finding his way into the closer role.
Apr 20 - 10:19 AM

Trevor Rosenthal allowed two runs -- one earned -- in a one-inning appearance Wednesday against the Pirates.

Rosenthal now has a 5.00 ERA in nine innings this season. He's fanned 11 batters and looked electric at times, but the Cards are doubtful to trust him with any save opportunities right now. Mitchell Boggs and Edward Mujica are the guys to own in fantasy leagues.
Apr 17 - 9:46 PM

Trevor Rosenthal holds a 3.00 ERA and 8/1 K/BB ratio over six innings this season.

Rosenthal has coughed up a pair of one-run leads in the eighth inning this season, but he's still flashed the 100 mph heat that has the Cardinals so high on him. Mitchell Boggs remains the team's closer with Jason Motte out, but Rosenthal has a good chance to usurp him eventually.
Apr 12 - 2:10 PM

Trevor Rosenthal fanned all three Mets he faced in his relief appearance on Sunday.

The Cardinals could always look at Rosenthal as a starter again next spring, but he'll spend 2013 in the pen and he should emerge as one of the league's top setup men. He's still well worth a look in keeper leagues.
Mar 10 - 3:46 PM

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny confirmed Thursday that Trevor Rosenthal will move to the bullpen.

The writing has been on the wall in recent days, so the decision doesn't come as a big surprise. Shelby Miller and Joe Kelly are the finalists for the fifth spot in the starting rotation while Rosenthal will focus on securing a spot in the big league bullpen.
Mar 7 - 10:00 AM

Trevor Rosenthal didn't attend a starting pitchers' meeting on Thursday.

It's worth noting that fifth-starter candidates Joe Kelly and Shelby Miller were present at the meeting while some of the club's minor league starters also attended. This would seem to indicate that the Cardinals prefer to keep Rosenthal in the bullpen. It shouldn't come as a major surprise at this point, as the young right-hander hasn't been given the opportunity to start since the first game of the Grapefruit League schedule.

Trevor Rosenthal pitched two scoreless innings out of the pen Wednesday against the Marlins.

It's notable that Rosenthal was penciled in for just two innings today after throwing three innings last week. While Rosenthal was always a big long shot for a spot in the Cardinals rotation, the workload roll back could be an indication that he's more likely to start off in the major league pen than in the Triple-A rotation.
Mar 6 - 4:53 PM

Trevor Rosenthal bounced back from a poor first outing to yield one run over three innings Thursday against the Marlins.

Rosenthal allowed two hits, walked one and struck out one. While today's performance was definitely an improvement over his first (4 ER, 5 H in 2 IP), he hasn't taken advantage of Shelby Miller's absence from the rotation competition.
Feb 28 - 5:02 PM

Trevor Rosenthal gave up four runs and five hits in two innings Saturday in his start versus the Marlins.

Rosenthal appeared well on his way to establishing himself as a force out of the pen last October, but the Cardinals have decided to give him another crack at starting games this spring. He has a great deal of upside in either role, but if he's going to help the Cardinals early this season, it figures to happen as a reliever.
Feb 23 - 4:59 PM

Trevor Rosenthal has a 2.33 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 32/8 K/BB ratio through his first 27 major league innings.

That stat line includes his performance this postseason. Rosenthal has one of the hardest fastballs in the game and complements it with a power curve. The 22-year-old righty projects as an eventual front-line starter but is playing a major role in the Cards' bullpen right now.

Cardinals recalled RHP Trevor Rosenthal from Triple-A Memphis.

Rosenthal has allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings in his previous two stints in the majors. One of the team's top pitching prospects, he'll work the middle innings.
Tue, Aug 28, 2012 10:22:00 PM

Cardinals optioned RHP Trevor Rosenthal to Triple-A Memphis.

Rosenthal was only up in the majors for four days this time around. He's getting the boot to clear a roster spot for Jaime Garcia, who will be activated from the disabled list to start Sunday's series finale against the Pirates.

Cardinals recalled RHP Trevor Rosenthal from Triple-A Memphis.

Rosenthal will provide depth for the St. Louis bullpen while Brian Fuentes handles a private issue. The young righty had a 4.50 ERA in four innings earlier this season.

Cardinals optioned RHP Trevor Rosenthal to Triple-A Memphis.

The moves clears a 25-man roster spot for Edward Mujica, who was acquired via trade at Tuesday's deadline and will join the St. Louis bullpen in a middle relief capacity. Rosenthal posted a 4.50 ERA in his first four major league innings. The 22-year-old is an intriguing prospect and will rejoin the Memphis rotation.
