Lamb is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb has a .905 OPS in 12 games since having his contract selected by the Dodgers in late June, but he'll head to the bench Friday with lefty Patrick Sandoval pitching for the Angels. Gavin Lux will move to left field while Hanser Alberto starts at the keystone.

Lamb is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Matthew Liberatore is on the mound for St. Louis, so the lefty-hitting Lamb will retreat to the bench in favor of the righty-hitting Trayce Thompson. Lamb and Thompson should continue to form a platoon in left field while Chris Taylor is on the injured list due to a small fracture of his left foot.

Lamb is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb has gone 2-for-11 with three walks and a pair of solo home runs while starting in four of the past five games, and he looks like he'll have a path to a regular role against right-handed pitching while Chris Taylor (foot) is on the injured list. He'll likely remain a fixture on the bench against left-handers, however, as he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Drew Smyly on the bump for Chicago.

Lamb went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb tied the game at 2-2 with his long ball in the seventh inning, and he also made a key catch on defense to end the eighth. This was the 31-year-old's second homer of the season, both of which have come in the last two games. Showing power is a good way for him to claim a starting role in left field while Chris Taylor (foot) is on the injured list. Lamb is batting .263 with three RBI, four runs scored, a triple and a double through eight contests.

Lamb went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb brought the Dodgers within a run with a seventh-inning blast. The 31-year-old has been able to maintain semi-steady playing time against right-handed pitchers since Chris Taylor (foot) went on the injured list. Through 20 plate appearances, Lamb has a homer, a triple, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a 4:7 BB:K in seven contests.

Lamb isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Lamb is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb will retreat to the bench after starting in three of his first four games with the Dodgers while going 3-for-8 with a pair of extra-base hits, a walk, two runs and an RBI. Though the lefty-hitting Lamb may be the Dodgers' preferred pinch-hitting option off the bench versus right-handed pitching, his path to a regular lineup spot has likely closed with Mookie Betts (rib) coming off the injured list Sunday and with Chris Taylor (foot) seemingly on track to rejoin the lineup for Monday's series opener with the Rockies.

Lamb had his contract selected by the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb joined Los Angeles on a minor-league deal in March and reported to Triple-A Oklahoma City after failing to make the Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old has a .290/.395/.537 slash line with 15 home runs and 50 RBI in 61 games for Oklahoma City this season, and he'll join the big-league roster while Zach McKinstry (neck) heads to the injured list.
