Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert started Wednesday's game against the Nationals and allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out one in two innings. He gave up seven runs in 5.2 innings across two major-league starts this year but will head back to the minors after Chi Chi Gonzalez (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
