Back in action Lambert (thumb) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.1 scoreless innings in Sunday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

Impact Lambert bruised his thumb in an appearance versus the Mets on Thursday, but he was able to return in short order. This was just his third scoreless outing in seven appearances since the All-Star break, as Lambert remains in a long-relief role. For the year, he has a 5.73 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 47:24 K:B through 55 innings over 25 appearances (three starts).

Bruises thumb in relief appearance Lambert was removed from his relief appearance in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Mets due to what Rockies manager Bud Black described as a "severely bruised" left thumb, MLB.com report...

Impact Coming on in relief in the top of the fourth after starter Austin Gomber lasted just three innings, Lambert allowed a one-out single to Tyrone Taylor, then retired him and Lindor when Lindor's liner ricocheted off Lambert's glove safely to shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who stepped on second base and threw to first base to complete an inning-ending double play. Lambert went on to pitch two more innings and struck out three batters on the day, but his overall effectiveness waned as he pitched through the thumb injury, as he ended up giving up two earned runs on five hits and one walk. Though X-rays came back negative, Lambert could be a candidate to go on the injured list if the swelling in his thumb doesn't subside over the next day or two.

Shaky vs. Marlins Lambert did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact The Marlins got to Lambert quickly, scoring twice in the opening inning before tacking on runs in the third and the fourth. The 27-year-old Lambert's struggled in his two starts this year, allowing 10 runs in 6.1 innings. He's fared better out of the bullpen, however, pinching to a 1.88 ERA over 14.1 innings in relief. Still, the right-hander figures to remain in the rotation while Kyle Freeland (elbow) is sidelined. Lambert's currently scheduled for a home start against the Giants in his next outing.

Moving to bullpen The Rockies announced Sunday that Lambert will open the season as a long reliever, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was fighting for a rotation spot but posted a 5.40 ERA over 16.2 spring innings and lost out to Dakota Hudson and Ryan Feltner. Lambert worked as a swingman for Colorado last season with 11 starts in 25 appearances, and he should fill a similar role in 2024.

Out with biceps tendinitis Lambert was placed on the 15-day injured list with right biceps tendinitis Saturday.

Impact Lambert technically has time to return before the end of the season, but the timing of the injury makes it quickly likely that he's done for the year. If that's the case, he'll end his age-26 season having recorded a 5.36 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 11 starts and 14 relief appearances. Karl Kauffmann was called up to take his place on the roster.

Impact The Rockies gave Lambert a 3-0 lead to work with in the second inning, but it was gone by the end of the third. The Giants teed off with three homers in this contest, the most Lambert's given up in an appearance this season. He's now at a 5.36 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 71:28 K:BB through 87.1 innings over 25 appearances (11 starts). The right-hander is projected for a rematch at home with the Giants in his next outing.

Solid despite loss Lambert (3-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on nine hits over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out two.

Impact Though Lambert fell to his fifth loss of the campaign, he surrendered just three runs, notching his fourth straight start yielding three or fewer runs. However, he was tagged by Marcell Ozuna for a solo home run in the second inning to mark Lambert's fifth consecutive outing giving up a long ball. Over his last four appearances (23 innings), Lambert owns a 3.52 ERA to go along with a 17:3 K:BB. He's tentatively lined up to take on the Diamondbacks in Arizona for his next start.
