Now that Garcia has gone down with his annual injury to the labia in his shoulder, what do you do?
Option 1: Promote an undeserving Joe Kelly to the rotation (looks like this is the route they are going)
Option 2: Bring up Wacha
Option 3: Hope Boggs comes back from his section 8, send Rosenthal down to stretch him out, and bring him back sometime around July as a starter.
Westbrook needs to get healthy quickly, otherwise too many of our innings will be eaten by arms that aren't ready for a 200 inning workload.

I don't know that they will move Kelly with him having thrown tonight. Last year he was a serviceable fifth starter; he's garbage in the pen. I'd like to at least give it a shot and see if he picks up where he left off in the rotation.
