But that void left with Marc Rzepczynski's departure has recently been filled -- and filled quite well -- by rookie Kevin Siegrist, whose successful start is providing Matheny with more flexibility in how he lines up his bullpen.

Joe Kelly Deserves Chance To Run with Tyler Lyons' Rotation Spot
I agree with the Cardinals’ decision on Friday to return Michael Wacha to Memphis so that Jake Westbrook could rejoin the roster and the rotation. The club simply can’t afford to get into the middle of August or September and worry about Wacha’s workload. He needs to spend more time in pro baseball, with this schedule, honing his craft. That’s best accomplished in the minors, not in the bigs. However, after Sunday’s 7-2 loss to the Marlins, in which Tyler Lyons gave up six runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings, I don’t think Lyons is the answer to fill the final spot in the rotation.
