GLENDALE, ARIZ. — The Chicago White Sox will be without right-hander Lance Lynn for an extended time after an MRI revealed a slight tear in a tendon by his right knee, general manager Rick Hahn said Sunday.
Lynn had been a leading candidate to start opening day for the Sox on Friday in Detroit.
“Lance will have about a 30-minute procedure Tuesday in Chicago to remove or repair whatever tear is in there,” Hahn said. “He then will be off a mound again in about four weeks, and of course there will be a process to build him back up.
