Lamb had his contract selected by the Angels on Monday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb had seemed pegged for the Triple-A Salt Lake roster, but Jared Walsh going to the injured list has pushed him onto the major-league club. The 32-year-old might wind up with a decent amount of playing time at first base while Walsh is out, although shifting Brandon Drury over to first most days could be the likelier scenario.

Lamb signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb spent time with the Mariners and Dodgers last year and slashed .216/.315/.392 with three homers, 13 runs and six RBI over 41 games. He'll have a chance to compete for a major-league roster spot as a non-roster invitee this spring.

Lamb cleared waivers and elected free agency Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb was designated for assignment by Seattle on Wednesday, and he'll choose to test free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Tacoma. Over 41 major-league games between the Dodgers and Mariners this year, he's hit .216 with three homers, 13 runs and six RBI.

Lamb was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb has appeared in only five games in September and has now lost his spot on Seattle's big-league roster. The 31-year-old has played in 41 games between the Mariners and Dodgers this season and has a .216/.315/.392 slash line with three home runs, six RBI and 13 runs.

Lamb entered Saturday's loss to the Guardians as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and hit a solo home run in his one plate appearance.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran's blast extended the Mariners' lead to 3-1 at the time, an advantage that seemed fairly secure until the Guardians rallied for three unanswered runs in the eighth inning. Lamb's homer was not only his first since arriving in Seattle, but also since all the way back on July 9 as well. The 31-year-old has seen only sporadic playing time thus far on his new squad, and that figures to continue being the case down the stretch unless injuries dictate otherwise.

Lamb, who went 1-for-3 with a double in a win over the Angels on Monday, is hitting just .167 (2-for-12) in his first five games with the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran does have a pair of walks and a run in addition to Monday's two-bagger, but Lamb has also struck out at a 28.6 percent clip in that sample of 14 plate appearances. Lamb saw time at both third base and left field Monday, and the start at the hot corner was his first at the position in 2022.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Lamb won't join the team until Friday's game against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb had been serving as a strong-side platoon option in left field or at designated hitter for the Dodgers prior to being acquired by the Mariners on Tuesday, but playing time could be harder to come by in his new organization. Though the Mariners are dealing with injuries to several key players of late, all of Ty France (wrist), Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Mitch Haniger (ankle) could be back in action within a week. Once all those players are active, the lefty-hitting Lamb likely won't have a path to playing regularly against right-handed pitching.

Lamb was traded from the Dodgers to the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The acquisition of Joey Gallo left one hitter too many on the Dodgers' roster, so the team decided to deal Lamb to Seattle. Lamb has played almost exclusively against righties this season and has posted an .814 OPS against pitchers who throw with that hand.

Lamb isn't starting Saturday against Colorado, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb went 3-for-9 with a double, a walk and three strikeouts over the last two games but will head to the bench with left-hander Kyle Freehand on the mound for the Rockies. Trayce Thompson is taking over in left field and batting sixth.

Lamb isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb started the last three games and went 3-for-11 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI, but he'll get a breather with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound for the Nationals. Gavin Lux is taking over in left field while Hanser Alberto starts at second base.
