GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Jake Westbrook has waited nearly two years to return to the mound for the Indians. What’s another day?

The right-hander, who is slated to start opening day, had his exhibition debut postponed Sunday, when Cleveland’s Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers was rained out at Goodyear Ballpark.

Westbrook is scheduled to pitch today (3:05 p.m.) in Tucson against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“It was disappointing because I was ready to go,” said Westbrook, who has been sidelined by Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, making just five big league starts the past two seasons. “I’m ready to get back on track. But it’s one more day. I’ve waited 23 months.”
