Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Season over due to sore knee
The St. Louis Cardinals placed Lance Lynn on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right knee inflammation.Lynn picked up a win Tuesday, holding the Pirates to one run over six innings. However, his knee has been an issue off and on throughout the 2024 campaign, and the Cardinals have decided it was for the best to shut him down. St. Louis has been using a six-man rotation lately, so they could either go back to a traditional five-man setup for slide Steven Matz or Michael McGreevy into Lynn's spot.

He made one rehab start, allowing five runs over 3.2 innings while throwing 80 pitches for Triple-A Memphis on Sept. 1.

Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Yields five runs in rehab start
Lance Lynn (knee) gave up five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 3.2 innings in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Memphis.After tossing a pair of live batting practice sessions, Lynn was able to handle a healthy workload in his rehab outing for Memphis, tossing 80 pitches (54 strikes). Though Lynn seems to be fully stretched out and healthy again after landing on the injured list July 31 with right knee inflammation, the St. Louis Cardinals may want to see a sharper performance from the 37-year-old in the minors before adding him back to the big-league rotation. The Cardinals have already announced their starting pitchers through Sunday, so Lynn seems likely to make another rehab start or throw a simulated game before returning from the IL, perhaps at some point early next week.

Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Slated for rehab start this weekend
Lance Lynn (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.Lynn threw approximately 75 pitches in a live practice session Monday and is slated for 80-to-85 pitches in his first rehab start. He should be stretched out enough for a return to the big leagues after that, though it's not a guarantee that he'll rejoin the St. Louis rotation at that time. Lynn has been out since late July with right knee inflammation.

Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Appears headed for September return
Lance Lynn (knee) is scheduled to throw another live batting practice session Monday but will likely require at least a couple more weeks to get stretched back out before the St. Louis Cardinals activate him from the 15-day injured list, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.Lynn was placed on the IL on July 31 with right knee inflammation and seems to be making good progress, as he already threw a live BP session of approximately 45 pitches on Aug. 20. According to MLB.com, Lynn is scheduled to push up his pitch count to 60 during Monday's session, but the Cardinals seem to be leaning toward having him toss some additional live BPs and/or minor-league rehab starts before bringing him back from the IL. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak recently mentioned the possibility of the team deploying a six-man rotation in September, but Steven Matz (back) is scheduled to make his final rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis and looks poised to beat Lynn back from the IL to fill a potential opening in the rotation.
