The All-Star righty is expected to miss one start.

White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn has inflammation in his right knee, it was revealed Tuesday, and the All-Star pitcher will likely miss a start while he’s on the 10-day injured list.

Infielder Danny Mendick was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to take Lynn’s spot on the active roster. Reynaldo Lopez will take Lynn’s start, most likely in Kansas City this weekend.

Lynn, 34, is 10-4 with a 2.59 ERA over 24 starts this season.

Mendick, 27, is batting .217 with two home runs and 20 RBI in 66 games.

Manager Tony La Russa also said that outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list Wednesday. Outfielder Adam Engel (shoulder) will likely head out for a rehab assignment when the Sox begin their road trip Friday.

La Russa said that shortstop Tim Anderson will continue resting his sore legs through a two-game series against the Pirates at Guaranteed Rate Field.
