The Cardinals will recall pitcher Carlos Martinez to start Thursday's scheduled game against the Dodgers, MLB.com reports. Jake Westbrook was the scheduled starter Thursday, but he threw 4 2/3 innings in Wednesday's 13-4 loss to the Dodgers after Wednesday starter Shelby Miller threw just two pitches before exiting with an elbow injury.
Martinez, who has made 10 relief appearances for the Cardinals, has allowed just one earned run on five hits and six walks while striking out seven in 10 innings in his two starts since rejoining Triple-A Memphis.
