Lamb is not starting Saturday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb will hit the bench against lefty Gio Gonzalez. He'd started 11 of the last 12 games, though he's not expected to be in the lineup quite so frequently in the future, as all 12 of those games came against righties. Eduardo Escobar slides to third base in his absence, with Wilmer Flores entering the lineup at second.

Lamb went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He was also hit by pitches twice. Lamb barely played in the first half due to a strained quad, but the 28-year-old slugger seems to be finding his power stroke, hitting his only two homers of the year in his last three games.

Lamb went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
It was Lamb's first long ball of the year, and it was enough to force Rockies starter Jon Gray from the game. Lamb is expected to see regular at-bats going forward, with David Peralta's shoulder injury causing a ripple effect on the Diamondbacks' defensive alignment. Lamb is hitting .243/.378/.378 in 13 games this season after missing nearly three months with a quadriceps injury.

Lamb went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb started at third base while Eduardo Escobar moved to second. We could see that alignment regularly with David Peralta (shoulder) on the injured list. The Peralta injury moves Ketel Marte to the outfield, leaving second base to Escobar and a regular spot for Lamb at third. Lamb is hitting .158 (3-for-19) since returning from a quadriceps injury.

Lamb started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Thursday's 5-1 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb got the start in place of Eduardo Escobar, who flew back to the team from Florida during the day. Escobar returned in time for the game, but manager Torey Lovullo opted to start Lamb at third. It was the second consecutive start for Lamb, who started at first base Wednesday, the day he was activated off the injured list. Lovullo has three bodies looking for playing time at corner infield and will juggle Lamb, Escobar and first baseman Christian Walker between those two spots.

Lamb returned to the lineup and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb was activated earlier in the day after rehabbing a quadriceps injury suffered April 3. The left-handed-hitting Lamb got the start at first base against right-handed starter Tony Gonsolin, although it's not yet clear how manager Torey Lovullo intends to split first base between Lamb and right-handed hitting Christian Walker, who has hit righties better than lefties in 2019.

Lamb (quadriceps) was activated from the injured list Wednesday. He is playing first base and hitting fifth against the Dodgers, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb was originally expected to return Thursday, but he'll join the Diamondbacks ahead of Wednesday's series finale against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old is expected to spend time at both infield corners now that he's healthy, though it remains to be seen how playing time with shake out between Lamb and current starters Christian Walker (.833 OPS) and Eduardo Escobar (.873 OPS). Domingo Leyba was optioned to the minors to free up a roster spot for Lamb.
