Peter Lambert - Starting bullpen gameLambert will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.
ImpactThe Rockies will be utilizing their bullpen to get through the game, but Lambert will start the contest. He has pitched as many as 3.1 innings this season, though both of his most recent outings have lasted only one frame. He's unlikely to work deep enough into the game to qualify for the win.

Tarik Skubal - Returning TuesdaySkubal (elbow) will start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ImpactSkubal will make his first start in the majors since Aug. 1, 2022, and has been sidelined after undergoing flexor tendon surgery. He has pitched well during his rehab assignment, most recently working four innings with Triple-A Toledo. Given that, he shouldn't be in line for significant workload restrictions, and he'll also get a favorable matchup against Oakland.
