St. Louis Cardinals SP Tyler Lyons will remain in the starting rotation after giving up two runs in six innings against the New York Mets Monday, April 21. His next start will come against the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday, April 26.

Fantasy Tip: The case is there to own Lyons in an NL-only league, but keep in mind that his stay in the rotation is expected to be short-lived. Joe Kelly should return to his rotation post when he's ready.

The St. Louis Cardinals aren't sure if SP Joe Kelly (hamstring) will need more than two weeks to recover from a slight tear of his hamstring, which means they'll leave RP Carlos Martinez in a relief role for now. Manager Mike Matheny said the team will go with a "minor league guy" for the start against the New York Mets Monday, April 21. SP Tyler Lyons is the main candidate for that start.

Fantasy Tip: Kelly's hammy strain doesn't seem to be too serious. Grab Lyons in an NL-only league if you need some short-term pitching help.

The St. Louis Cardinals placed SP Joe Kelly (hamstring) on the disabled list Thursday, April 17. The club is recalling RPs Eric Fornataro and Jorge Rondon from Triple-A Memphis and optioning RP Keith Butler in corresponding moves.

Fantasy Tip: Tyler Lyons is believed to be the replacement in the rotation for Kelly. Lyons won't miss a lot of bats, but he'll have at least two weeks to give you valuable innings in NL-only universes.

St. Louis Cardinals SP Joe Kelly (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in St. Louis Thursday, April 17. If he's unable to make his next start Monday, April 21, SP Tyler Lyons is expected to fill in.

Fantasy Tip: There's a decent chance that Kelly lands on the DL, depending on the severity of the hammy strain. Lyons isn't attractive unless Kelly is out for at least two weeks or more.

The St. Louis Cardinals placed SP Jake Westbrook (back) on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain Friday, Aug. 23, and recalled SP Carlos Martinez from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Martinez will be used in relief and SP Tyler Lyons will move into Westbrook's rotation spot to start Monday, Aug. 26. The team doesn't think the injury will keep Westbrook out for the rest of the season. He had allowed 30 earned runs in 26 innings in his last five starts.

Fantasy Tip: Lyons will become an option for mixed leaguers looking for some pitching help.
