Cardinals | Activate Jake Westbrook, option Michael Wacha

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:21:37 -0700

The St. Louis Cardinals have activated SP Jake Westbrook (elbow) from the 15-day disabled list and optioned SP Michael Wacha.

Fantasy Tip: It's a bit of a hit for his fantasy owners, but Wacha's age probably was a factor in him getting the boot and St. Louis keeping Tyler Lyons up. Wacha could still be worth a stash in many deep-mixed leagues, but it'll make roster management a bit difficult.

As for Westbrook, he had a 1.62 ERA before he hit the DL, but it's hard-pressed that he'll keep that up, though he could be an occasional cavernous mixed-league option even after a correction happens.

St. Louis Cardinals SP Jake Westbrook (elbow) will be activated from the DL to start for the parent club on Friday, June 14. It's unclear what the club intends to do with SP Tyler Lyons, who was originally scheduled to start then.

Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners, feel free to insert Westbrook if you normally would. He faces the Miami Marlins in his first game back.

Cardinals | Pitching rehab updates

Wed, 29 May 2013 15:20:47 -0700

St. Louis Cardinals SP Jake Westbrook (elbow) will throw an intense bullpen session Thursday, May 30, after last throwing 40 pitches off the mound Monday, May 27. He felt good enough to cancel his visit with Dr. James Andrews. RP Fernando Salas (shoulder) hasn't resumed throwing and doesn't know when he'll be cleared to do so.

Fantasy Tip: Westbrook's return to the rotation appears close, but the team will likely be cautious and make him go on a short rehab assignment. Rookie Michael Wacha has filled in in the rotation for the time being, but because of his lack of professional experience, it would seem likely that they'll send him back down when Westbrook is ready.
