Homers in Game 1 Lamb started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

Impact Lamb, who came up to the big leagues as a corner infielder, made his eighth appearance as an outfielder this season. In addition to injuries in left and center field, the White Sox are also navigating an injury to right fielder Adam Eaton, who sat out both ends of the doubleheader with a hamstring injury. That gave Lamb an opportunity for at-bats, and he delivered his third home run and second in his last four games. He's hit safely in all four of those games, going 5-for-13 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and four runs.

Starts in RF Lamb made his first career start in right field Sunday and went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Yankees.

Impact Lamb, a corner infielder before this season, has started seven games in left field this season but was moved to right field in Yankee Stadium, which has a challenging left field. As such, Adam Eaton, normally the starter in right, moved to left field. Lamb has a modest three-game hitting streak (3-for-10) and raised his average to .194.

Impact Lamb took Bailey Ober deep in the first inning to collect his second long ball of the season. The 30-year-old scored again in the third inning after getting hit by a pitch. Across 12 games so far this year, Lamb is hitting .154/.333/.269.

Impact Lamb slammed his first homer of the season in the third inning off Michael Pineda. This was only his fourth hit of the season as well. The 30-year-old hasn't played much this year, but he will get more opportunities for the White Sox while they deal with multiple injuries. Lamb is slashing .167/.355/.292 in 31 plate appearances.

Starts in LF Lamb started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a run scored in 3-2 victory over Boston in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Add Lamb's name to the cast of characters that have filled in for Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) in left field. He joins Leury Garcia, Billy Hamilton (hamstring), Andrew Vaughn and Nick Williams. This was the corner infielder's first ever game in left field in the majors or minors. With Adam Engel (hamstring) projected out until late April, Lamb could see more at-bats as part of the rotation.

Makes first start Lamb started at third base and went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to Seattle.

Impact Lamb gave primary third baseman Yoan Moncada a breather Wednesday. This was Lamb's first regular-season appearance in a White Sox uniform after being signed by the club late in spring training.

Major-league deal official Lamb officially signed a major-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday.

Impact Lamb's agreement with Chicago was reported Monday, though it wasn't clear whether he was joining on a major-league or minor-league deal. His big-league contract presumably means he'll be part of the Opening Day roster, serving as a backup option at both corner-infield spots and potentially getting some starts as the designated hitter. His performances at the plate over the past three seasons would look very out of place at that spot, however, as he hasn't reached a wRC+ of 80 in any of those years, hitting a combined .205/.309/.351. Unless he suddenly rediscovers his early-career form, it's hard to see him earning regular at-bats. Nik Turley was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Reaches deal with White Sox Lamb agreed to a contract Monday with the White Sox, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The deal will become official once Lamb clears waivers following his release from Atlanta over the weekend. Murray doesn't specify whether Lamb's deal is a major-league or minor-league deal, but the 30-year-old presumably won't have to wait long to join the big club regardless of the terms of his contract. With the White Sox entertaining the idea of using rookie Andrew Vaughn in left field with Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) expected to miss most of the season, Lamb could factor into the mix at designated hitter for Chicago.

Let go by Atlanta Lamb was released by Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Lamb was in camp competing for a bench spot. Despite signing a major-league deal, he'll lose out to non-roster invitee Pablo Sandoval, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move Saturday. He'll look elsewhere for work but may have a tough time finding a major-league deal, as he's a corner infielder who's produced a wRC+ below 80 for three straight seasons.
