ST. LOUIS -- Jake Westbrook has been trying to ignore elbow pain since spring training. The St. Louis pitcher and the team finally decided it was time for a break. "Ive pitched through a lot of stuff through my career," Westbrook said Sunday. "It just kind of got a little more inflamed than I would have liked my last start." The Cardinals will place the right-hander on the 15-day disabled list with elbow inflammation and plan to select the contract of left-hander John Gast in time for Tuesday nights game against the New York Mets. "Im 35, so I probably have more problems," Westbrook said. "I dont think its anything to be super-alarmed about." General manager John Mozeliak said Westbrook likely would miss two starts after complaining about the elbow in his last outing, but emphasized it was a minor injury. He said after the 35-year-old pitcher got a cortisone injection on Friday that hed certainly not be able to make his next start. "Its really not that big of a deal," Mozeliak said. "Its just something that we didnt want to push it, didnt want it to become a big problem." Mozeliak bristled at the mention of reconstructive elbow surgery for Westbrook, who missed the post-season last year with an oblique injury. "Dont put words in peoples mouths," Mozeliak said. "Hes fine, all right? We knew he couldnt start Tuesday." Westbrooks last outing was his shortest of the season. He allowed three earned runs on nine hits in 5 1-3 innings and got no decision in a 5-4 win. To make room for Gast on the major league roster, the team said 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 is retroactive to May 9. The 24-year-old Gast was the teams 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.

F1 photographer Mark Sutton picks his best shots from the U.S. and Mexican Grands PrixShoey victimCamera body - Nikon D5 | Lens - Nikkor 200-400mm F4 |Shutter speed - 1/640th of a Second | Aperture - F5.6 | ISO - 800 Ive mentioned on these columns before how great Daniel Ricciardo is for a photographer because hes always flashing his big toothy grin and generally just having fun. He finished third here and probably could have finished second if it wasnt for the Virtual Safety Car. Hes obviously said the shoey is now just for wins but it seems like making someone else do one when he finishes second or third is just as big a tradition. I dont know if the TV cameras picked it up, but Gerard Butler took a can of Red Bull on there as he doesnt drink, so Ricciardo made him down that instead! He was a great sport about it and it was another fun moment -- something that isnt always the case on the podium when the Mercedes guys are there.Early preparationsCamera body - Nikon D5 | Lens - Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 | Shutter speed - 1/320th of a second | Aperture - F4 | ISO - 400 This is a rare shot of Lewis Hamilton because usually when hes in the garage, its rare that we get a shot of him without his helmet on. This was on Thursday during the pit lane walk, there were lots of fans around and then I heard some noise from outside the Mercedes garage. I wondered what it was, so went over and there was Lewis during a seat fitting -- something we dont often get pictures of him doing. Its a shot Im always trying to get, of all the drivers, as it creates a really nice image of man and machine.Lewis fansCamera body - Nikon D5 | Lens - Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye | Shutter speed - 1/320th of a second | Aperture - F6.3 | ISO - 400 They love Lewis Hamilton in America -- hes super popular and this was actually the view facing away from the podium. I heard lots of Lewis, Lewis chants and behind me theres this huge group of fans there. I decided to switch to a fisheye llens for this one and I think it captures the crowd best.dddddddddddd F1 needs more races where there are passionate fans in large numbers and Austin is one of them.Hola, MexicoCamera Body - Nikon D5 | Lens - Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 | Shutter speed - 1/250 of a second | Aperture - F8 | ISO - 400 Esteban Gutierrez loved his first Mexican Grand Prix. He and Sergio Perez were the star attractions throughout the weekend -- Perez seemed a bit more used to it after last year but Gutierrez was lapping up all the attention he could, and why not? This was actually just after the national anthem, usually they usher you off the grid at this point and as this was happening I looked to the side of the circuit and Gutierrez was there firing up the fans and doing a little bow. It must be truly special for these guys when they have home support and I thought it was a nice moment before the race that the FOM cameras might not have caught.Lewis lucky escapeCamera - Nikon D5 |Lens - Nikkor 200-400mm F4 | Shutter speed - 1/1000th of a second | Aperture - F6.3 | ISO - 400 This is me stood at Turn 1, facing the long pit straight. I think this gives a good indication of just how early Hamilton locked up -- he obviously went straight on and missed the Turn 2 apex completely. He clearly had a big issue with his brakes there and the chat after was all about whether hed gained an advantage, but whatever way you look at it, he was lucky to have come out of Turn 1 unscathed. I didnt actually see what happened through the corner as, when youre stationed here, your view is actually restricted somewhat -- I heard the crowd reacting to Hamilton going off and Nico Rosberg and Max Verstappen coming together, but was still shooting the back of the field coming through knowing we had a guy stood with a better view of the chicane on the other side.
