Looks like Tyler Lyons will get Wacha’s rotation spot. Fun to have a chance to see Alex Reyes pitch in a pennant race, though.

That might be tough for Lyons, being on the DL and all

As pointed out, Lyons is on the DL.
Weaver is going to get the call to start Saturday.

Excited to see this arm in the bigs

Luke Weaver will get the Saturday start. When Lyons comes off the DL he may get the majority of the starts, or maybe Jerome Williams, whose already in the ‘pen.

This move boggles my mind. Reyes is definitely an elite talent but he has not shown the ability to control his pitches. It doesn’t matter if you throw 100 mph if you can’t hit the strikezone. I don’t see how his promotion is going to help the club other than maybe from a tv ratings standpoint. Also, who takes Wacha’s spot in the rotation?

Luke Weaver is taking Wacha’s next turn.
Reyes’ control issues will be a lot more manageable in the bullpen, that’s why Weaver is getting the start instead of him. He strikes out enough that he should play plenty well out of the bullpen.

Control issues have been a Cardinal reliever problem most of this year.
At least it will be exciting now to see a 101mph go 5 feet behind the hitter?
JFactor
Is he going to start or go from the pen?

Nevermidn, weaver also called up and will start Saturday vs Cubs!
JFactor
We’re both Weaver and Reyes called up? Or one and not the other?
MLB.com has said each, but not in the same links

Weaver will be promoted, but not until Saturday.

MLB.com says that Weaver is being promoted as well and will start in Wacha’s spot in the rotation.

Uhm…what?

Cub fan but Reyes next year as a starter will win Rookie of the year if Cards don’t make him in eligible cause of there desire to sell tickets
Stromalama
Him coming up isn’t about selling tickets and the Cards as an organization care more about winning than a players individual award.
teufelshunde4
fyi cards don’t have problems selling tickets. even in a down year performance wise…
Reyes will have growing pains for sure.
how did you like the taste of him sat? Reyes threw almost all fb and fell behind yet Cubs couldn’t do much. Wait till reyes develops some command… scary talent…
