Lamb (quadriceps) will return from the injured list when his 20-day rehab period expires Thursday, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb appeared in just five games before suffering a strained quadriceps. He's expected to spend some time at both infield corners upon his return to action, though it's unclear if he'll be able to carve out a significant role with Christian Walker posting an .844 OPS and Eduardo Escobar's sitting at .879.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Lamb (quadriceps) will play "a few more games" at Triple-A Reno, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb has been shuttling between first and third base for the Aces, going 6-for-27 (.222) over eight games. "We want him here, but what I expressed to Jake is that his spot is waiting for him, but I just want to make sure with as much time as he's missed, that emotionally, physically and fundamentally, he is 100 percent ready to roll," said Lovullo. Lamb played just five games for Arizona before sustaining the quad injury, after playing just 56 in 2018. It's unclear what role awaits Lamb upon his return to the majors.

Manager Torey Lovullo said he expects Lamb (quadriceps) to return from the injured list before the end of June, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb recently began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno and has gone 3-for-9 with three RBI and a 2:0 BB:K in a trio of games for the Aces over the past week. He's been sidelined since the start of April, so he'll likely need to appear in a few more minor-league games before being cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks. While Lovullo said that likely won't happen during the team's upcoming homestand, which runs June 18-26, the manager believes the corner infielder will be back in action before July rolls around.

Lamb (quadriceps) took several at-bats in an extended spring training game Saturday but was not allowed to run out of the batter's box, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb, who has not played since the first week of the season, could begin a rehab assignment next week. At the time of his injury, Lamb's everyday job at first base was threatened by Christian Walker's hot start, but he had a cold month of May (.208 in 96 at-bats).

Lamb (quadriceps) stopped his running drills Tuesday because his leg did not feel right, Shaun O'Neill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb had increased the intensity of his running but may have done too much too soon. I don't want to say that he took a step backward, but he felt a little bit of weakness and stopped what he was doing. It was a neutral day. It wasn't a progressive day, like he's been having. It's not terrible news," said manager Torey Lovullo. The manager added the move to shut down Lamb's running was a precaution to prevent a setback.

Lamb (quadriceps) ran aggressively without issue Saturday, Katherine Fitzgerald of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Torey Lovullo is pleased with the progress Lamb is making. "Lamb had a very good day (Saturday)," Lovullo said. "He ran aggressively, and he felt very, very good, so an encouraging sign." Lamb had an off day Sunday and will be back at the rehab Monday at the team's spring training facilities. There is no timetable for Lamb's return, but Lovullo would like him to get between 15 and 25 at-bats while on a rehab assignment.
