Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn will not be a starting pitcher this weekend as first planned. He has been skipped in the rotation due to a mild ankle sprain, per KMOV. Lynn had been scheduled to pitch Friday in the opener of a key series against Pittsburgh.
The right-hander is coming off one of his finest performances of the season when he tossed seven shutout innings in San Francisco.
His injury is not considered serious, so he appears likely to pitch against the Cubs in another important set next week.
