Moves rehab to Double-A Lambert (elbow) made the fifth appearance of his rehab assignment at Double-A Hartford on Sunday, striking out five over 2.2 innings while allowing one run on one hit and no walks. Impact Lambert hit three batters during the start, so his control wasn't completely on point, despite the fact he didn't issue a walk. Even so, the outing was another encouraging one for Lambert, who is beginning to build up his pitch count as he works his way back from July 2020 Tommy John surgery. Lambert may not have enough time left this season to return from the 60-day injured list and fill a spot in the Colorado rotation, but he could fill a bullpen role for the big club over the final few weeks.
