If Westbrook is unable to pitch, Tyler Lyons would start the game. Manager Mike Matheny said it really depends on how Westbrook feels. "We’ll see how (Westbrook) feels, see what it looks like, see what our need is also. The need will dictate when (he starts)," Matheny said.

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(6/5/2013) Cardinals starting pitcher Jake Westbrook (elbow) was pleased following the first of an expected two rehab starts Monday. Westbrook threw 60 pitches in 3 2/3 innings for Double-A Springfield.

Everything felt good, which was good. I was a little erratic with my pitches, but I guess that's understandable the first time out. It wasn't terrible by any means, but I wasn't as sharp as I'd like to have been."
