Lynn eyeing 2017 for return to Cardinals

Following a throwing program that is meant to mirror spring training, Cardinals righthander Lance Lynn (elbow surgery) will start Wednesday night for Class AA Springfield.

He pegged his chances at throwing in the majors this season as “very slim.” That’s partially because his schedule is set to end when the minor-league season does in early September.

After Wednesday, Lynn is scheduled to make two more rehab starts. The Cardinals have not ruled out having him appear in a major-league game, though he described how his regimen is geared toward preparing him for 2017 and a relatively normal offseason to prepare for it.
