Lynn, 28, went 12-11 with a 3.03 ERA (131 ERA+) in 31 starts and 175 1/3 innings in 2015. He battled forearm and ankle trouble during the season. Lynn signed a three-year contract worth $22 million last offseason.

>>White Sox Bring on Renteria
The Chicago White Sox have hired former Cubs manager Rick Renteria as their bench coach.
Renteria managed the young Cubs to 73 wins in 2014. The North Siders were planning to bring him back for a second season before Joe Maddon became available.
The Cubs went on to win 97 games and reach the NL Championship Series with Maddon, slugger Anthony Rizzo, rookies Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber, and ace Jake Arrieta leading the way.
Renteria, who replaces Mark Parent, joins a 76-win team. He is expected to work with young position players in Carlos Sanchez, Micah Johnson, Tyler Saladino, Avisail Garcia and Trayce Thompson.
The White Sox also hired Greg Sparks as the assistant hitting coach Tuesday. He spent the past 19 seasons with the Oakland organization.
>>Cardinals Great, Brock, Loses Part of Leg
Hall of Famer Lou Brock recently had part of his left leg amputated due to an infection related to a diabetic condition, reports Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The leg was amputated just below his knee.
Brock, who stole an NL-record 938 steals in his career, is in physical therapy and recovering well. He is taking steps with a walker and being fitted for a prosthetic device.
Brock, now 74, played with the Cubs from 1961-63 before being traded to the Cardinals in a six-player trade in June 1964. He went on to lead the NL in stolen bases eight times and retire as a .293 career hitter with 3,023 hits.
Since retiring in 1979, Brock has been a regular at Cardinals spring training, working with players and meeting with fans. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985.
