Cardnals pitcher Lance Lynn is available out of the bullpen Friday for Game 1 of the NLDS, per MLB.com.
Manager Mike Matheny suggested he would only turn to Lynn in an emergency, perhaps if John Lackey is chased early or the game goes into extras. Lynn finished the regular season with a 3.03 ERA and 167 strikeouts, but showed some signs of fatigue down the stretch. He will start Game 4 on Tuesday, if necessary.
