The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that Daniel Poncedeleon will start on Tuesday, bumping Luke Weaver to the bullpen.

Weaver will be used as a "shorter long man or a middle-innings guy" immediately. He has a 4.67 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 24 starts.

"The results are the results," he said. "I need to be able to go out there and contribute. Things have been a little shaky, a little inconsistent. I understand that. I'm a good evaluator of myself, and I know some things need to be worked out.

"With this move, it's not a slap in the face. It's just about going out there and finding a way where I can help the team in a positive way."
