EDGE Analysis

Lambert's rehab shifted to Triple-A Albuquerque last week, and he'll be activated from the 60-day injured list Friday to make his first major-league start since 2019 in the Rockies' opener against the Giants. The right-hander made seven appearances during his rehab assignment and posted a 3.94 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 16 innings.
