Replacing McClellan will be Lance Lynn as the Cardinals have his contract purchased from Triple-A Memphis and will make his Major League debut Thursday night against the San Francisco Giants.
Lynn, 24, is one of organization’s most advanced pitching prospects and is in his second full season at Triple-A Memphis. He’s 5-3 with a 4.06 ERA, 54 strikeouts and 21 walks on the year. Lynn was a first-round selection in the 2008 Draft.
“Everything’s positive on [Lynn's performance this year],” general manager John Mozeliak said. “We wouldn’t make the move, wouldn’t bring him up if it wasn’t positive.”
Lynn will be pitching on short rest. His most recent start was Sunday at home against Omaha. He allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings, striking out six against one walk. He threw 101 pitches.
