The St. Louis Cardinals will have Luke Weaver make the start on Tuesday in place of Adam Wainwright (elbow). Wainwright was placed on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation but isn't expected to miss more than a start or two. Some thought rookie Jack Flaherty would come up to make the start, but it seems like the Cardinals will use off days to keep their rotation the same, simply skipping Wainwright's start.

Coming into the game, Weaver had only given up four runs total in 17 1/3 innings of work, so Thursday was by far his worst start of the season so far.

Weaver is expected to take on a much larger role in the St. Louis starting rotation this season, so he made a plan to bulk up in order to keep him from wearing down later in the season. The young righty comes with some risk, but has nice upside in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.

Weaver was rewarded with his fourth win, moving his record to 4-1. His ERA is a strong 2.50 and he's striking batters out at an 11.25 K/9 rate.
