Update: The White Sox announced Lynn left the game with what was described as “right knee discomfort.” He will be evaluated further on Sunday.
Let’s just get to Opening Day already.
Lance Lynn left his final start of Spring Training early today with some sort of right leg injury. It occurred during the fourth inning of his start after a pitch he threw to Corbin Carroll. Lynn threw 76 pitches today, giving up 7 runs (4 ER) in 3.1 innings of work before the injury occurred.
Lynn would immediately hobble off the mound and into the dugout, not throwing another pitch after the initial injury. It appeared that he tweaked something a few pitches before, which the Diamondbacks broadcast had commented on, as his pace slowed down compared to usual. In some more reassuring news, Lynn was able to walk off to the outfield gate to leave the game under his own power, and he appeared to be far less hobbled on his way out of the game.
Lynn, as you’ll remember, missed some time in 2021 due to right knee inflammation, so it is quite possible that something flared up in his right knee once again. We will keep you informed as more information becomes available.
