Lynn was a first-round pick in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft and will be making his big league debut. This season for Triple-A Memphis, Lynn is 5-3 with a 4.06 ERA.
Lynn was named the Cardinals organizational Pitcher-of-the-Year in 2009 after jumping three levels in his first full pro season.
Last September, Lynn broke the Memphis Redbirds' franchise strikeout record, fanning 16 Oklahoma City RedHawks.
