Lamb was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb was playing only sporadically for the team and hadn't started in the last four games. He had a clause in his contract that allowed him to be optioned within 45 days of the start of the regular season, so the team was facing a decision on Lamb's status in the coming days. The corresponding move is currently unclear.
