Adam Wainwright Set For Game One, But Cardinals Have A Backup; Scott Rolen Returns; Yasiel Puig Sits; Extra Bases

The Cardinals intend to start ace Adam Wainwright for Game 1 of the National League championship series on Saturday, as scheduled, but they have prepared Lance Lynn as an alternative if the club does not feel Wainwright is ready for the game or is unable to pitch deep into it.

With their ability to close out the National League Division Series against the Dodgers in four games, the Cardinals were able to avoid sending their ace back to the mound in a series-elimination game. That means Adam Wainwright will be ready to take the mound in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series against the San Francisco Giants.
