In a game that same evening, he strained his right forearm and was placed on the disabled list.

May 20, 2013: St. Louis Cardinals starting pitchers Jaime Garcia and Jake Westbrook were featured along with their fellow starters. Later that week, Garcia was scheduled to have season-ending shoulder surgery. And Westbrook had to cut short a throwing session due to lingering elbow discomfort that same week.
