Lynn to Start vs. Marlins

Thursday, June 25

The Cardinals confirmed Lynn's activation from the disabled list, announcing he will take the mound for Thursday's game. It will be Lynn's first start since June 7.

"Everything's fine. He's good to go. He passed every test," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said when confirming Lynn would pitch against Miami, courtesy of Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said Lynn "probably could have pitched" through the injury, but the team wanted to err on the side of caution, per Langosch:

Lynn has been his usual solid self for the Cardinals this season, posting a 3.07 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 73.1 innings. Tyler Lyons struggled in three earlier MLB starts with a 5.54 ERA in 13 innings, but he did right the ship in Triple-A with a 2.61 ERA and 56 strikeouts against nine walks in 48.1 innings. 

The Cardinals have been fighting injuries all year, with Matt Adams on the 60-day disabled list and Adam Wainwright out for the season. Matt Holliday was also placed on the disabled list prior to Lynn's injury.
