The Cardinals starting rotation is expected to receive a boost in the return of Lynn. The right hander missed all of last season following elbow surgery, and the Cardinals are counting on his return to help a pitching staff that saw its team ERA rise from an NL-best 2.94 in 2015 to 4.08 a year ago.

After a watching its team ERA balloon from a National-League best 2.94 in 2015 to 4.08 last season, St. Louis knows its starting rotation must improve this year if they hope to catch the Chicago Cubs. The Cardinals believe they have the arms to do that, thanks to the return of a healthy Lance Lynn, a rejuvenated Michael Wacha and a full season from promising rookie Alex Reyes. (AP Photo/Gene J.
