Lynn tossed 1.2 scoreless innings, striking out two while allowing just one hit on 27 pitches in his first rehab appearance Monday at High-A Palm Beach.
Considering Lynn is not yet a year removed from Tommy John surgery, it seems overly optimistic for him to return this year, but the Cardinals may be hoping he can get back for September or the playoffs. His first time on the mound went about as well as can be expected, but what's more important will be how he feels Tuesday morning. We'll keep monitoring his rehabilitation efforts for more news about his return schedule.
