Lamb went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs Sunday in the Diamondbacks' 9-6 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb powered the Diamondbacks to an early 2-1 lead when he came around to score on his second-inning double, but he was unable to come up big in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and runners on the corners. Giants reliever Will Smith struck Lamb out swinging on four pitches to end the threat and seal the series sweep for San Francisco, who cut Arizona's division lead to two and a half games. Despite coming up short in his final at-bat Sunday, Lamb has been one of the Diamondbacks' most productive hitters of late with a .319 average and .400 on-base percentage over his last 12 games. He has only one home run during that stretch, however, and just six on the season in 173 plate appearances.

Lamb is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb piled up eight hits over his last five games to raise his batting average 23 points to .237, but as he usually does when an opposing southpaw is on the mound, he will open on the bench with Arizona facing lefty Wei-Yin Chen. Deven Marrero will man the hot corner in Lamb's place.

Lamb went 2-for-4 with a double, walk, two runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb plated the first run of the game with his third-inning double and came around to score when David Peralta followed with his own two-bagger. The third baseman has submitted two-hit performances in three of his last four contests and has recorded at least one hit in six consecutive games, but his contributions are still a little lacking in the power department. With only 11 extra-base hits across 156 plate appearances this season, Lamb has produced a .170 ISO, well below the .260 and .239 marks he posted in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Lamb went 2-for-4 with a run scored Sunday in the Diamondbacks' 3-0 victory over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time all season, Lamb has posted back-to-back multi-hit games, though all four of his hits over that stretch were singles. Lamb is still hitting a lowly .228 on the campaign, but the lack of power he has shown to date is likely a more pressing concern for his fantasy owners. Through 147 plate appearances, Lamb has five home runs and a .150 ISO, an 89-point drop from his 2017 mark.

Lamb is out of the lineup against Pittsburgh on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb will receive a day off after going 1-for-2 with three walks and one run scored during Tuesday's game versus the Angels. In his place, Daniel Descalso will man third base and bat out of the cleanup spot for the series opener. Look for Lamb to return to the starting nine for Friday's outing.

Lamb went 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately for Lamb, the only occasion he failed to reach base on the night came in the top of the ninth inning, when he lined out to left field to end the Diamondbacks' comeback bid. Drawing walks has always been a major part of Lamb's game, but he has yet to consistently provide the power that has typically complemented the free passes. Since coming off the disabled list May 18 following an extended absence due to a sprained left shoulder and tight elbow, Lamb has tallied just eight extra-base hits (five home runs) in 27 games.

Lamb is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb will head to the bench Saturday with the Mets sending left-hander Steven Matz to the mound. Lamb has yet to find his swing since coming of the disabled list in mid-May, posting a .195/.299/.415 slash line in 97 plate appearances, though he does have five home runs.

Lamb went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the Diamondbacks' 9-5 win over the Pirates on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb's fourth long ball of the season tied the game at 5-5 in the seventh inning before Arizona took the lead for good in the subsequent frame. The third baseman is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak but has recorded exactly one hit in each of those contests, resulting in little improvement in his .235 average on the season. However, fantasy owners are rostering Lamb mainly for his contributions in the home run and RBI categories, and he's at least held up his end of the bargain in those areas of late.

Lamb is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb will be given the afternoon off with lefty Kyle Freeland toeing the rubber for the Rockies. Lamb is riding a five-game hitting streak and has also driven in a run in four of the team's last five games. He'll be relieved by Deven Marrero at third base Sunday.

Lamb went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday in the Diamondbacks' 9-4 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb has reached base in each of his last six starts and is slashing a commendable .316/.435/.632 over that span. The third baseman still has major limitations against left-handed pitching, but he should make for a quality lineup option in all formats when the Diamondbacks face off against righty-heavy rotations in a given week.
