Making progress toward return Lamet (forearm) played catch with a plyo ball Wednesday and with a baseball Thursday, and he is reportedly feeling better, MLB.com reports.
Impact The report also states that the forearm inflammation that landed Lamet on the injured list Sunday is going down, which is the most promising sign that he is not dealing with a major injury. Should the right-hander continue to improve, he could potentially return to the rotation prior to the All-Star break.

Forearm inflammation again forces Padres' Dinelson Lamet to injured list Troublesome forearm pushing Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet to the injured list for the third time this season
JUNE 27, 2021 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM
Lands on injured list Lamet was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right forearm inflammation.
Impact The 28-year-old exited Saturday's outing after 2.1 innings with what was initially labeled forearm fatigue, and he's now been diagnosed with forearm inflammation after being further evaluated. Lamet had two stints on the injured list during the first month of the season with forearm tightness, though it's unclear if the current injury is something new or a recurrence of the previous issue. Ryan Weathers is the likely candidate to fill Lamet's spot in the starting rotation.

Impact Lamet exited with trainers after yielding four runs on six hits across 2.1 innings. The right-hander had trouble gripping his slider and also experienced a slight dip in fastball velocity, leading Tingler to remove him in what is initially considered a precautionary move. Lamet will be further evaluated Sunday morning and for the time being he can be considered questionable to make his scheduled start against the Phillies next weekend.

Impact It's not fully clear what forced the right-hander to exit, but it should be noted that he suffered a UCL strain last September and also dealt with forearm tightness earlier this season. Lamet's fastball velocity dipped prior to his departure, which could indicate that he's once again dealing with a problem in his forearm/elbow area. The Padres will likely provide an update later this weekend.

LEADING OFF: DeGrom aims to set Mets mark for shutout streak
Mets ace Jacob deGrom can set the team record for scoreless innings when he starts against the Phillies at Citi Field on SaturdayJUNE 26, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tosses five shutout innings Lamet (2-2) pitched five scoreless innings in a victory over the Reds on Sunday. He allowed just four hits and a walk while striking out a season-high seven batters.
Impact Lamet had his best outing of the year after lasting five innings for only the second time this year. He missed time earlier in the season because of a UCL strain he suffered in late September and has been continually working to build up his arm strength. He tossed a season-high 81 pitches and seems to be very close to being fully stretched out. The 28-year-old sports a 2.81 ERA and 37:11 K:BB over 32 innings and is in line for a juicy matchup against the Diamondbacks over the weekend.

Takes loss in short outing Lamet (1-2) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over four innings Monday, striking out three and taking the loss against Colorado.
Impact Lamet clearly wasn't at his sharpest Monday as he allowed six baserunners and needed 75 pitches to get through four frames. He's yet to pitch more than five innings this season and has only gone past the fourth on just one occasion. The 28-year-old is sporting a 3.33 ERA and 30:10 K:BB through 27 innings this season. Lamet is lined up to face the Reds at home this weekend.
