Being considered for rotation Lamet (back) could be used as a starter when he returns from the injured list, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lamet hasn't started a major-league game since 2021 and hasn't been a full-time starter since 2020. He seems ill-suited for the role at this point, but the Rockies' rotation has been hit hard by injuries so it appears they might be willing to give it a shot. Lamet has made two rehab starts with Triple-A Albuquerque but figures to require multiple more to get stretched out if Colorado does indeed bring him back as a starter.

Starting rehab assignment Tuesday Lamet (back) will report to Triple-A Albuquerque to begin an injury rehab assignment Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lamet was able to participate in a live bullpen session Saturday, and now the right-hander will get a chance to face competition in the Pacific Coast League for the Isotopes beginning Tuesday. He'll likely work in a handful of games and then have a chance to return as soon as next weekend in a mid-to-late innings relief role.

Participates in live BP Lamet (back) participated in live batting practice Saturday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters after the session that he looked healthy with a focus on improving his delivery and confidence when he returns. Lamet has dealt with injuries throughout his career, but he has a chance to return to the Colorado bullpen in the mid-to-late innings near the end of May.

Rockies place RHP Dinelson Lamet (back) on 15-day IL The Colorado Rockies placed reliever Dinelson Lamet on the 15-day injured list Thursday with lower back stiffness

MAY 4, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Placed on 15-day IL Lamet was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with lower back stiffness.

Impact Lamet has been hammered for 16 runs -- 15 earned -- on 14 hits and 12 walks through 10.2 innings of relief this season with the Rockies. That works out to a 12.66 ERA and 2.44 WHIP. He will probably do a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to try to get into a better groove.

Behind Johnson for saves Lamet struck out two in a scoreless seventh inning Thursday and was not used in Friday's save situation against the Padres.

Impact Pierce Johnson got the ball in the ninth inning Friday and successfully protected a 4-1 lead, allowing one hit while striking out two. It's unclear whether Lamet would have figured into the eighth or ninth inning if he hadn't already pitched Thursday. Regardless, for now, Johnson looks like the top Rockies reliever to roster with Daniel Bard on the 15-day injured list due to anxiety.

Reaches deal with Colorado Lamet signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Rockies on Wednesday.

Impact Lamet was claimed off waivers by the Rockies in August after he was traded to the Brewers and designated for assignment, and he was able to avoid arbitration with his new team. The 30-year-old allowed 13 earned runs over 12.1 innings with San Diego prior to the trade but pitched better for Colorado with a 4.05 ERA across 20 frames.

Effective across two innings Lamet allowed one hit across two scoreless innings with four strikeouts to earn a hold Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Lamet was claimed off waivers Aug. 5 and has stuck in the majors since, appearing in 19 games for the Rockies. He's pitched primarily in low-leverage situations, though he has racked up three holds and also worked multiple innings four times. All told, Lamet maintained a 4.05 ERA with a 29:10 K:BB across 20 innings during his time with Colorado.

Lamet's eventful week continues with Rockies picking him up

The Colorado Rockies have claimed Dinelson Lamet off waivers, capping a week in which the right-hander was traded by one organization and designated for assignment by another

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Claimed by Colorado Lamet was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lamet was acquired by the Brewers in the trade that sent Josh Hader to San Diego on Monday, but he was designated for assignment just two days later after the Brewers added more relief depth. Lamet has had a poor 2022 campaign, struggling to a 9.49 ERA and a 14.5 percent walk rate in 13 relief appearances at the big-league level, but the Rockies have little reason not to take a flier on a pitcher who has flashed plenty of potential both as a starter and as a reliever.

Brewers waive Lamet, Severino following trade deadline

Dinelson Lamet was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers, two days after being acquired in a trade that sent closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

DFA'd after acquisition The Brewers designated Lamet for assignment Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact One of four players the Brewers received in return for closer Josh Hader in Monday's deal with the Padres, Lamet will be moved off the 40-man roster without having ever appeared for Milwaukee. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, general manager David Stearns said that while the Brewers liked Lamet's live arm and strong prior track record of experience at the MLB level, finding a spot for him in the bullpen became too challenging in the wake of Tuesday's trade deadline. Lamet is under contract for $4.78 million in 2022, so the Brewers are hoping that salary may be enough to deter another team from claiming the right-hander off waivers, which would allow him to remain in the farm system at Triple-A Nashville.
