The team with the best record in baseball looks to get stronger later this week.
St. Louis right-hander Lance Lynn will come off the 15-day disabled list Thursday and face off against the Miami Marlins.
Lynn landed on the disabled list with a right forearm strain and is eligible to be activated on Tuesday.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, manager Mike Matheny doesn’t want to push back starts for right-hander Carlos Martinez and left-hander Jaime Garcia.
Matheny said Lynn passed every test on Sunday and that “he’s good to go.”
Lynn has compiled a 4-4 record with a 3.07 ERA.
Left-hander Tyler Lyons replaced Lynn in the rotation and made two starts — both wins. Matheny was unsure if Lyons would stay in the bullpen or be sent back to Triple-A Memphis.
