But the right-hander will miss time after being placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right trapezius, the team announced before Sunday’s second game of a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox. The move is retroactive to Saturday.
Lynn, 33, leads the Sox in innings pitched (19u2154) and strikeouts (27). He is 1-1 with an 0.92 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in three starts during his first season with the Sox, who acquired him in a December trade with the Texas Rangers.
Lynn has struck out 10-plus batters with no walks in back-to-back starts, the first Sox pitcher to accomplish the feat.
