ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Cardinals put right-hander Jake Westbrook on the 15-day disabled list with elbow inflammation and plan to select the contract of left-hander John Gast in time for Tuesday night’s game against the New York Mets. To make room for Gast on the major league roster, the team said Sunday that injured closer Jason Motte will be moved to the 60-day disabled list while rehabilitating from reconstructive elbow surgery. Westbrook is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in seven starts. His DL move was retroactive to May 9.
Gast was the team’s minor league player of the month in April, going 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Memphis. He began the season with 32 consecutive scoreless innings.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Some Iowans are starting to worry about what a debate about IowaCare means for their doctor visits. About 66,000 residents are currently enrolled in the program. Democrats who control the state Senate favor a Medicaid expansion. Republicans who hold a majority in the House oppose the expansion.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It’s unlikely a bill that would make changes to the state’s system for inspecting school buses will pass this year. A bill that would require buses with serious problems to be re-inspected has passed the Iowa Senate. But some lawmakers now want to shift inspections out of the Education Department and into the state Transportation Department.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jorge De La Rosa held the St. Louis Cardinals hitless into the seventh inning and Troy Tulowitzki’s three-run homer ended Colorado’s scoreless streak at 28 innings, sending the Rockies to an 8-2 victory Sunday. De La Rosa did not allow a hit until David Freese’s two-out single in the seventh, answering a pair of pitching gems by St. Louis over the weekend.
Charlie Blackmon added a two-run homer off Jaime Garcia (4-2) for the Rockies, who snapped a four-game skid. They finished with 11 hits after totaling three in consecutive shutout losses to rookie Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright. Nolan Arenado, who singled with one out in the eighth to break up Wainwright’s no-hit bid Saturday, was among four Rockies with two hits apiece.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Tyler Bray believes that every rookie has something to prove. He may have more than most. The former Tennessee quarterback left school a year early hoping he’d be chosen highly in the draft, but every team passed on him over the course of seven agonizing rounds. So he wound up signing with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent, and is now trying to make the team.
He’s been participating in the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp that finishes up Sunday. Bray put up big numbers as a starter with the Vols, but questions about his maturity and some minor off-the-field incidents caused his stock to drop. Still, he had one of the biggest arms of the rookies coming out, and the Chiefs hope he can compete for a backup job.
ONAWA, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa man is facing charges after trying to evade police at speeds up to 120 mph. Television station KTIV reports that the chase happened on Friday afternoon when the Ida County Sheriff’s Department tried to stop 28-year-old Barry Young, of Galva.
Authorities say Young fled south on Highway 175 and drove erratically while as many as six police cars pursued him. Young is suspected of stealing packages off the front porches of homes. The Iowa State Patrol says Young drove across a farm field and through a fence surrounding a cell phone tower during the chase.
Young was arrested a few miles east of Onawa. He faces a felony charge of eluding arrest, several drug charges and numerous traffic violations.
