Cardinals’ Lance Lynn has Tommy John surgery
Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn had surprise Tommy John surgery and will be sidelined all of next season. The operation repaired a torn ulnar collateral ligament while having the ulnar nerve transposed and bone chips removed. Lynn missed a couple of starts in June with a forearm strain. Lynn was 12-11 with a 3.03 ERA last season. He was an All-Star in 2012 and has three straight seasons of 30 or more starts. He’s among 16 pitchers to work 175 or more innings each of the last four years. The loss of Lynn is the latest blow to the N.L. Central champion Cardinals’ pitching depth.

The White Sox reached out to Renteria about joining the organization about a year ago, but general manager Rick Hahn said the timing “was not right.” With Mark Parent being let go as bench coach following this season, it created an opening. Renteria is expected to work with young position players like Carlos Sanchez, Avisail Garcia and Trayce Thompson.
