2024 Fantasy Outlook
Is Lynn the guy who one-hit Toronto with 11 strikeouts in early June or the guy who punched out 16 Mariners in mid-June, or the guy who won four of his first five starts with the Dodgers? Or is it the guy who allowed 15 earned runs and six homers over back to back starts against Miami and Atlanta? St. Louis will find out this season after signing him to a one-year, $10 million deal. Lynn finished the season with more than a strikeout per inning, but allowed the most homers we have seen at the big league level since Bronson Arroyo served up 46 homers in the 2011 season. Lynn works deep into games and could benefit from being back in a familiar setting, having pitched the first six seasons of his career with the Cardinals. Busch Stadium is a middling home park and St. Louis had an uncharacteristically poor defense last year. Still, Lynn is pretty affordable for a pitcher who should log 150-plus strikeouts and push for double-digit wins if he regresses somewhat toward his late-career norms. Read Past Outlooks

Delivers five scoreless frames
Lynn allowed four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Pirates. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
It didn't come easy for Lynn on Tuesday -- the veteran right-hander had to work out of a pair of bases-loaded jams. Still, Lynn would make it through five innings unscathed in an eventual 2-1 Cardinals victory. The 37-year-old Lynn was tagged for 10 earned runs on July 6 against the Nationals, though he's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last five outings. Overall, Lynn is 5-4 on the year with a 4.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 94:40 K:BB across 101.1 innings. He's currently in line for a home matchup with the Rangers early next week in his next start.

Less than a week before Opening Day, Lynn suffered a knee injury in a Grapefruit League game, requiring surgery for a torn tendon. The procedure knocked him out for the first two months, with Lynn making his season debut for the White Sox on June 13. He looked like a pitcher coming off a long-term absence, allowing 30 earned runs -- including seven home runs -- in his first seven starts (36 innings) back from the injured list. Eventually Lynn was able to right the ship. The right-hander posted a 2.18 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 62:8 K:BB over his final 62 innings spanning 10 starts. With his fantastic finish to the season, Lynn's stock is trending up again. He's a huge man at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, but that does not make him immune to injuries as we've seen over the years. This is the final guaranteed year of his current deal, so Lynn would likely be a hot trade chip if the White Sox were to fall out of contention.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![CWS](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100CWS.png?v=6)
Dodgers optimistic about deal
The Dodgers are close to acquiring Lynn and perhaps also Joe Kelly from the White Sox, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Nightengale notes that the Dodgers are "involved in several potential high-stake trade possibilities," and a deal with Chicago for Lynn and Kelly is seemingly at or near the top of that list. Lynn's performance this season has been up and down, to say the least, but for fantasy purposes it would be interesting to pair his bat-missing skills with the Dodgers' ability to get the most out of their hurlers.
