Leake (illness) is set to start Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

He had been on the DL with an illness, but is in the lineup Wednesday, so he appears to be feeling well enough to slot back into the rotation. Leake is second among qualified starters with a career-best 3.7 percent walk rate, but perhaps he's throwing a few too many strikes, as opposing hitters are hitting .276 against him and he sports a 4.56 ERA -- his worst such mark since 2012. Given the $80 million contract he inked with St. Louis this offseason, his status in the rotation should be safe down the stretch, even though Alex Reyes appears to be an obvious upgrade waiting in the bullpen.
