Fans five in win Lambert (3-4) yielded one run on four hits and a walk over seven innings Friday, striking out five and earning a win over the White Sox.

Impact Lambert served up a leadoff homer to Elvis Andrus in the first inning but settled in for an impressive outing. It was Lambert's longest outing of the year and his first time punching out at least five batters since May 13. He lowered his season ERA to 5.02 with a 56:24 K:BB through 66.1 frames. Lambert is currently lined up to start in Tampa Bay next week.

Turns in quality start Lambert (2-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Given the quality of the opponent and the fact he gave up all three runs over the first two innings, Lambert was lucky to emerge with a quality start, his second of the season. The right-hander has compiled a 5.46 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB through 59.1 innings over 20 appearances (six starts). He was shaky in his first two outings of August and remains a risky option in fantasy given his home park, where he's expected to make his next start versus the lowly White Sox.

Slips up in fourth inning Lambert (2-3) allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss Monday versus the Brewers.

Impact Lambert held his own over the first three innings, but it all fell apart in the fourth. He's given up nine runs over his last eight innings while taking a pair of losses in his last two starts. The right-hander has a 5.57 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB through 53.1 innings over 19 appearances (five starts) this season. Lambert remains in the rotation despite his poor performance since the Rockies have no better options available. He's projected to face the Dodgers on the road this weekend.

Comes back to earth Lambert (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

Impact Lambert entered Tuesday's start having not allowed a single earned run over his last 15 innings and had allowed just one run when he was pulled from the contest. However, he left the bases loaded when he exited the game and all three runners eventually came around to score to end Lambert's start with four earned runs. With four starts under his belt, Lambert owns a 1.96 ERA and a 9:5 K:BB through 18.1 innings as part of the Rockies rotation. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start in Milwaukee early next week.

Logs quality start Lambert did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk over six innings against Washington. He struck out two.

Impact Lambert more than held his own Wednesday, limiting the Nationals to just one unearned run on the afternoon while notching his first quality start of the season. The right-hander produced three 1-2-3 innings and needed only 78 pitches to get through six frames. He has not allowed an earned run over his last 14 innings of work (spanning three starts) and lowered his season ERA to 4.76 with Wednesday's performance.

JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting another start Lambert is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals in Washington.

Impact The Rockies have been short on reliable starting pitching nearly all season, so it comes as little surprise that Lambert will get another turn through the rotation after he dazzled in his return from Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend. Prior to being recalled Friday, Lambert had worked in a multi-inning relief role with Colorado earlier in the season, but he looks like he'll get a chance to make regular starts with the big club now that he's had a chance to get fully stretched out in the minors. While facing off against Miami last weekend, Lambert held the Marlins scoreless over five innings while striking out three and allowing just four baserunners. The matchup with a Washington offense that has been a bottom-third unit in terms of wRC+ (95, 22nd in the majors) is a favorable one on paper for Lambert, though Nationals Park has historically skewed hitter-friendly.

Goes five scoreless in win Lambert (2-1) tossed five scoreless innings, scattering three hits and one walk, to earn his second win of the season Friday versus the Marlins. He struck out three.

Impact Lambert was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday afternoon and seemingly secured his spot in the Rockies' injury-ravaged rotation with a dominant effort at loanDepot park in Miami. He needed just 77 pitches (51 strikes) to navigate the five scoreless frames. Up next is another favorable matchup against the Athletics, though that game will be played at hitter-friendly Coors Field and Lambert carries an overall 5.49 ERA in 39.1 major-league innings this year.

Recalled ahead of Friday's start Lambert was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact He will start for the Rockies on Friday in Miami, taking the rotation spot vacated by Connor Seabold, who has been demoted to the bullpen. Lambert is no safe bet to be an upgrade, having collected a 6.29 ERA in 34.1 innings of work this season at the major-league level.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Friday Lambert will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Friday at Miami, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Saunders adds that Connor Seabold has been demoted to the Rockies' bullpen. Lambert holds an ugly 6.29 ERA in 34.1 innings of work this season at the major-league level, but he pitched pretty well in his last two starts with Albuquerque, scattering three earned runs while tallying eight strikeouts across 8.1 frames.

Sent to minors Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact Lambert covered three scoreless innings as Colorado's opener Saturday, but he's now being sent down in favor of a fresh arm. The 26-year-old has a 6.29 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB across 34.1 innings with the Rockies this season.

Does well as opener Lambert allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over three scoreless innings in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Tigers. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The Rockies utilized a bullpen game Saturday, and Lambert covered the most innings as the opener. Three of his five scoreless outings this season have come in his last five appearances. He's also given up multiple runs in seven of his 15 outings. The right-hander remains a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. He's pitched to a lackluster 6.29 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB through 34.1 innings while posting a 1-1 record this year.

Starting bullpen game Lambert will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Rockies will be utilizing their bullpen to get through the game, but Lambert will start the contest. He has pitched as many as 3.1 innings this season, though both of his most recent outings have lasted only one frame. He's unlikely to work deep enough into the game to qualify for the win.

Optioned to Triple-A Colorado optioned Lamber to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Lambert was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Impact Lambert had posted a 3.68 ERA and 5:4 K:BB through 7.1 innings (three starts) this season at the Triple-A level. He'll presumably operate in a long relief with the Rockies as he makes his way back to the MLB level for the first time since 2021.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact Lambert will begin the year in Triple-A after missing the majority of the last two seasons with injuries, including Tommy John surgery in 2020. The right-hander will have his innings limited to begin the campaign, but he could be a rotation option for Colorado by the time 2023 comes to a close.

Innings to be limited early Lambert (elbow) will have his innings capped to begin the 2023 season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lambert told Harding that this is the first time since he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2020 that he feels ready to contribute to the pitching staff. He's expected to receive a normal workload during the Cactus League, but then will be on strict limits for the beginning of 2023. Lambert showed promise as a prospect, but there's too much volatility to consider him a potential fantasy option to begin the year.

Should be ready for spring Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said Friday that Lambert (elbow) is expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Between the minors and majors, Lambert has covered just 30.1 innings since the start of the 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June of that year. Though he dealt with related forearm and elbow issues in 2022, the 25-year-old right-hander looks to have avoided another surgery and should be ready to compete for a back-end rotation spot with the Rockies this spring. However, given that he owns a 7.48 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 95 innings in the majors and has struggled to stay on the mound in recent years, Lambert is more likely to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque to shake off the rust before Colorado potentially gives him another look.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on minor-league injured list Lambert (elbow) was placed on the 7-day injured list June 11, Thomas Harding reports.

Impact Lambert has had a tough time bouncing back after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July of 2020. He was sidelined to begin the season due to forearm pain but was activated to make his 2022 debut May 26. Since, he managed 8.2 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque before landing back on the injured list. There is no known timetable for his return.
