Lambo (foot) signed a one-year contract with the A's on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

A bout of plantar fasciitis sent Lambo to the DL in early May, and a late-July setback effectively ended his season with the Pirates. The A's picked Lambo up off waivers last month, but it's uncertain what kind of role he will fill in 2016, as the team could always bring in more outfield options over the winter.

Lambo was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lambo, who made the Pirates' opening day roster last season, spent the majority of the year on the disabled list due to plantar fasciitis. In 20 games before landing on the DL, Lambo went 1-for-25 with eight strikeouts. He will likely compete for an outfield spot in Spring Training.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew Lambo experienced a setback in his rehab from a foot injury, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Lambo was just getting ready to start a rehab assignment, but he will now be held out of baseball activities for at least the next three weeks.

Lambo (foot) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Friday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Paul Zeise reports. The move allowed the Pirates to add reliever Deolis Guerra to the 40-man roster, but does not change Lambo's timetable, as he was placed on the DL 51 days prior to this roster move. Look for Lambo to return sometime in the second half of the season.

Lambo (plantar fasciitis), who has been rehabbing at Pirate City, is still not close to returning, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Manager Clint Hurdle gave little indication about when Lambo might come off the disabled list. "He is still not showing the signs of improvement and progress to get him into any type of game," Hurdle said. Lambo had just one hit in 25 at-bats in a pinch-hitting role for Pittsburgh prior to going on the DL.

Lambo (foot) was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Lambo has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and he'll miss at least the minimum 15 days with the ailment. He hasn't gotten much playing time this season, but has struggled mightily when he has as the lefty is just 1-for-25. Steve Lombardozzi was called up in a corresponding move to take his roster spot.

Lambo has one hit in 26 at-bats and has played sparingly in the field thus far in 2015. The Pirates have given more opportunity to Sean Rodriguez as a fourth outfielder in the outfield -- Lambo is 1-for-11 with two walks as a pinch-hitter. Despite stinging the ball on numerous occasions, Lambo has little to show for his efforts and could be the odd man out whenever the team decides to make a move.

Lambo will start in right field and bat second Monday against the Cubs. Lambo has just one hit in 17 at-bats, but has centered the ball well. He could easily have six or seven hits, as noted by GM Neal Huntington during his Sunday radio show.

Lambo will start in right field and hit second in Thursday's game against the Cubs. Lambo will start for just the second time this season with Andrew McCutchen getting a day off and Starling Marte out with a hand injury. Lambo is 0-for-12 this season, but there's a good chance he will have at least four opportunities to pick up his first hit of the season batting out of the two hole Thursday.

Lambo has made the Pirates' Opening Day roster, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. A late charge by Pedro Florimon wasn't enough to wrestle the final bench spot away from Lambo. He's expected to serve as the team's left-handed bat off the bench.
