The Chicago White Sox starter received a visit from the training staff after experiencing a “tweak in his back,” according to manager Tony La Russa. After a couple of warmup throws, Lynn remained in the game.
“I wouldn’t even call it a ‘tug’ — it just felt weird for a second,” Lynn said. “And then once I was able to throw a couple more pitches, I was good to go.”
Lynn allowed six runs on seven hits and struck out six in six innings in a 6-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians in front of 24,082 fans.
