With Tyler Lyons in the minors, the Cardinals will use pitcher Joe Kelly as the No. 5 starter in the rotation, when needed, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Kelly, who worked five innings of scoreless relief Friday, may not be needed much in the next few weeks. The Cardinals have four off days between Monday and July 8. Kelly is 0-3 with a 4.22 ERA in 21 appearances (one start).

"We've drawn up at least a dozen models already," said Matheny, "and we're trying to think of the pros and cons of each. If there is a start to be had, it will be Joe Kelly."
