Ready to go for Monday start Padres manager Jayce Tingler said Lamet will start Monday's game against the Rockies in Colorado, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Impact In his return from the 10-day injured list last week, Lamet was deployed in a tandem with Ryan Weathers, who had been returning from a minor arm injury of his own. Since he didn't get fully ramped up after being shut down with forearm tightness, Lamet was capped at two innings (30 pitches) before giving way to Weathers, who worked three frames. Lamet should be cleared to work deeper into Monday's turn, especially after Weathers was used in a tandem Sunday with Chris Paddack, who was activated from the COVID-19 IL ahead of the series finale with the Giants. The Padres will likely wait and see how Lamet looks during Monday's outing before determining how he, Paddack and Weathers fit into the team's rotation plans moving forward.
