Loses rematch with Cubs Lamet (1-1) lost Tuesday's 7-1 defeat at the hands of the Cubs, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
Impact Lamet cruised through five innings having allowed a single run and just two base runners but surrendered two singles and a double to begin the sixth and was promptly removed. While the results weren't there, the biggest takeaway is the season-high 78 pitches Lamet threw as he's now increased his pitch count in five straight appearances. Given their record and lofty expectations, San Diego will most likely continue to bring the electric righty along slowly though Lamet looks to be making strides toward fully recovering from his forearm and elbow injuries.

Whiffs six in no-decision Lamet allowed a run on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in four innings versus the Cubs on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The right-hander threw 47 of 72 pitches for strikes in his longest outing of the season. Lamet has pitched fairly well despite San Diego's cautious approach to his workload. He has a strong 2.50 ERA, but he's also posted a 1.44 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 18 innings in seven appearances. The 28-year-old projects to make his next start in a home rematch with the Cubs next week.

Impact The right-hander blanked Houston for three frames before running into trouble to begin the fourth, and Lamet got the hook after 64 pitches (37 strikes).

Ready to start Lamet is listed as the starter for Friday's game against the Astros, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact The Padres have handled Lamet with extreme caution thus far this season due to the elbow issue that ended his 2020 campaign prematurely. He didn't make his season debut until late April and immediately hit the injured list for a brief period due to forearm tightness after making just one appearance. Three of his five outings thus far have counted as starts, though he's handled a similar workload in all five, lasting two innings in his first four and three in his most recent appearance. That suggests he's unlikely to last longer than four innings this time around, but a return to the rotation after making multi-inning relief appearances in each of his last two trips to the mound still represents progress.

Throws three innings in relief Lamet earned a hold in Saturday's win over Seattle, tossing three innings and allowing one unearned run on two hits and no walks while striking out five.
Impact Lamet again worked in tandem with Ryan Weathers, who covered the first four innings of the game. Craig Stammen came on and pitched the fifth while Lamet handled innings six through eight. The right-hander was dominant in long relief, picking up five punchouts and allowing only an unearned run. Per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Lamet maintained 96-97 mph heat on his fastball, providing optimism that he is getting stronger as he continues to build up. The 28-year-old could return to a starting role at some point during the campaign, which would boost his fantasy value considerably.

Shifts to bullpen Lamet (1-0) made his first relief appearance as a major-leaguer Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two to earn the win over St. Louis.
Impact Ryan Weathers gave San Diego four innings as a starter, and Lamet followed with a pair of frames in relief. He hit as high as 97.9 mph with his fastball but saw his velocity dip slightly as the appearance progressed, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Lamet's move to the bullpen comes somewhat as a surprise, though he hadn't pitched more than two innings in any of his previous outings this season and actually tossed a season-high 37 pitches in Sunday's appearance. Per Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune, it hasn't yet been determined whether Lamet will continue to be used in relief or switch back to a starting role. "Maybe he comes out of the bullpen, maybe he starts again," manager Jayce Tingler stated following the game, suggesting that the team will do whatever best helps Lamet continue pitching long term.

Two innings again Tuesday Lamet allows one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one across two innings in the Padres' win over the Rockies on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Lamet seems to be a lock in for two innings at this point, pitching exactly two innings in all three of his starts. Raimel Tapia scored the only run of the game for the Rockies in the first inning off Lamet. He's taken advantage of the limited opportunities he's getting, allowing just one run in six innings. However, his injury risk is preventing him from getting any consistency in his starts.
