Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said in an interview on 590 The Fan Friday that Jake Westbrook (oblique) isn't expected back until the final week of the season. The Cardinals at this point have only said that the right-hander would miss one start, but it sounds like he could miss three. Lance Lynn pitched well in Westbrook's place Thursday and is in line to make at least one more start.
