Lyons has pitched well. He's earned the right to continue pitching as a starter. He's also the only lefty starter we have healthy, and with Siegrist and Scroate both in the pen Lyons becomes redundant unless he's the long man.
At this point Wacha is fourth on the totem pole to be the #5 starter:
1) Lyons
2) Kelly
3) Gast
4) Wacha
