| 3/22/25 | Liberatore sharp in first spring training start for Cardinals.

After making five relief appearances in which he allowed a combined two runs in 12 2/3 innings, Liberatore made his first start of the spring in the Cardinals' next-to-last game and was just as effective.

| 9/28/24 | Echo from past October shows Cardinals and Giants fall from autumn rivals to winter questions. From the field to the opponent to the bunt itself and even the handedness of the pitcher who made the error, so much of how the Cardinals lost to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday was familiar. Instead of a pivotal game in a series to decide the National League pennant, the throw that got away from a Cardinals left-handed reliever this year only gave the Giants a chance Sunday to reach .500 for the season in both teams' finale. After the Cardinals rallied to tie the score, Matthew Liberatore pounced on Brett Wisely's two-out bunt and threw wide to first base. On Saturday, Giants rookie Tyler Fitzgerald scored from first base on the error to give the Giants a one-run lead and, after the Cardinals' scoreless ninth, a 6-5 victory.

| 6/27/24 | Here's how Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore exceeded expectations as a bullpen game opener. The ideal scenario for a bullpen strategy in Game 2 of a Wednesday doubleheader was clear to Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol and his staff. It started with getting opener Matthew Liberatore to the right spot to hand the ball over to the guys behind him. “The last thing we said was, it'd be really nice if he (Liberatore) could face the leadoff guy a third time and then go straight to (right-hander Chris) Roycroft,” Marmol said following a 4-1 Cardinals win at Busch Stadium. What Marmol and his staff hoped for was described as a “best-case scenario.” Source: https://www.stltoday.com/sports/professional/mlb/c... |

| 6/19/24 | Matthew Liberatore steps in for Kyle Gibson, but Marlins scratch out walk-off win vs. Cardinals. Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore may have redefined what a “spot start” means after being pressed into duty as the club's starting pitcher just minutes before first pitch. Liberatore and a worn-down Cardinals bullpen — they've played four consecutive one-run games, including a pair of extra-inning contests — came up just short as the Miami Marlins pulled out their second consecutive walk-off win and handed the Cardinals a 4-3 loss in the series finale at loanDepot Park on Wednesday afternoon. In the ninth inning, Cardinals rookie reliever Ryan Fernandez gave up a two-out single to right field by the Marlins' Otto Lopez, and Tim Anderson scored from second base without a play at the plate as right fielder Alec Burleson mishandled the ball as he went to take it out of his glove to throw home on the play.

| 5/28/24 | Former Cy Young Winner Dominating; Should Cardinals Consider Signing Him?. The St. Louis Cardinals look like they're finally starting to find their groove and it's coming at just the right time as we head into the summer months before the July 30 trade deadline. With recent injuries in the Cardinals rotation, the team has had to scramble by moving reliever Matthew Liberatore into the rotation. With the lack of depth in St. Louis' arsenal, some have claimed that the club should dip into the farm system for the time being. Another potential option to help bolster the Cardinals' limited rotation could be a former Cy Young award winner who has been dominating the international league level but has some notable off-the-field issues.

| 5/20/24 | Matthew Liberatore's bumpy transition back to the rotation may cause Cardinals to reconsider. The Cardinals have made left-hander Matthew Liberatore pay for his selflessness and his willingness to try to adapt to serve their needs. Unfortunately for Liberatore and the Cardinals, the longer the arrangement plays out, it doesn't seem as though it serves either Liberatore or the team. “He's taking his best shot for the situation that we're in, and it does complicate things for the 'pen a little bit because you end up overextending guys,” Marmol said.
