Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn is available out of the bullpen for Game 1 of the World Series against the Red Sox, MLB.com reports. However, Lynn's Game 1 availability will not necessarily preclude him from starting Game 3 or Game 4 in St. Louis.

Lynn has prior relief experience, making 16 relief appearances and two starts in 2011 in his first season with the Cardinals, as well as six relief appearances in 2012 and 15 career postseason relief appearances.
