Lamb (shoulder) could be back with the Diamondbacks at some point during their weekend series against the Mets, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb played just four games this season before being shut down with a shoulder sprain. He appeared to be nearing a return in late April before being delayed by elbow tendinitis and then another shoulder setback. He's been rehabbing with High-A Visalia and finally appears to be on the brink of returning, though manager Torey Lovullo called it just a "possibility" that Lamb would be back over the weekend, so it may still be a few more days.

Lamb (shoulder, elbow) went 1-for-5 with a double in his second rehab game at High-A Visalia on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb has just one hit in eight at-bats across his first two games with Visalia, but the more important takeaway is that he hasn't experienced a setback in his recovery from a sprained left shoulder nor any renewed tightness in his right elbow. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo suggested that Lamb would stick around at Visalia for the time being, but if his health checks out fine in his subsequent couple of games, he could then shift his rehab to an upper-level affiliate.

Lamb (shoulder, elbow) will begin a rehab assignment for High-A Visalia on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb appeared in just four games this season before landing on the disabled list. He's finally closing in on a return after suffering a setback in early May. There hasn't yet been word on how long Lamb's rehab assignment will be, but he shouldn't be too far from rejoining the Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Lamb (shoulder, elbow) remains on pace to appear in an extended spring training game next week, Doug Padilla of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was scheduled to temporarily suspend his rehab program Wednesday, Lamb felt well enough to take swings, field grounders and throw across the infield. He's set to continue performing baseball activities over the next couple of days, and if all goes as anticipated, Lamb will then be able to test the strength of his left shoulder and right elbow in a game setting. It seems likely that Lamb would require some kind of minor-league rehab assignment after playing in extended spring games, so he's probably trending closer to a late-May activation from the disabled list than a mid-May return.

Lamb (shoulder/elbow) resumed hitting and throwing Tuesday and is slated to increase his activity Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb's rehab had temporarily been put on hold last week after he required a cortisone injection to ease the soreness in his sprained left shoulder. The shot appears to have had the desired effect, so Lamb will go through more extensive drills over the next few days before the Diamondbacks likely map out a rehab assignment for the third baseman. Lamb, who has also dealt with elbow tightness in recent weeks, has been on the 10-day disabled list since early April.

Lamb (elbow) received a cortisone shot in his injured left shoulder after an MRI revealed further inflammation, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though this is a bit ominous, manager Torey Lovullo insists this is a minimal setback. He thinks Lamb will only be a day or two behind as a result of this, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. He still could return in a week or so, but this setback is worth monitoring over the coming days.

Lamb (shoulder/elbow) threw from approximately 120 feet Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb, who has been on the disabled list since April 3 with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, seems to be nearing a return to full activities, as he has already taken batting practice and fielded grounders in recent days. Before he receives work in simulated games, he'll need to first make some throws across the diamond, a benchmark in his recovery that has been delayed due to a bout of elbow tendinitis. The Diamondbacks haven't etched out a clear timetable for Lamb's return, but a mid-May activation appears realistic if he can avoid any further setbacks.

Lamb (elbow/shoulder) is scheduled to begin a throwing program Monday, Matt Kelly of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb has completed multiple on-field workouts the last few days without incident, so he'll take another step forward by beginning a throwing progression Monday. The 27-year-old is still in the process of rebuilding strength in the AC joint of his sprained left throwing shoulder in addition to recovering from a bout of elbow inflammation that he experienced while participating in extended spring training games earlier this month. The Diamondbacks don't have a clear projected return date for Lamb, but the general expectation is that he'll come off the 10-day disabled list at some point in May.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Lamb (elbow/shoulder) went through full workouts Thursday and Friday and looked good during both sessions, Elliott Smith of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb fielded grounders, threw from third base and hit in the cage, among other activities. The 27-year-old initially landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, but it appears his right elbow is the greater concern at this juncture after he developed inflammation during his rehab, which resulted in a brief shutdown. With the discomfort in his elbow having since subsided, Lamb should continue to work out over the next few days with no complications before likely beginning a minor-league rehab assignment at some point during the upcoming week.

Lamb (elbow) is slated to resume a light throwing program Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks shut down Lamb on Sunday after he experienced renewed tendinitis in his right elbow, but team doctors were encouraged by the third baseman's recovery after reevaluating him Wednesday. Lamb was cleared to hit in the batting cage Wednesday and should gradually escalate his activity as he eyes an early-May return from the 10-day disabled list.
