Lamb (quadriceps) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This was the seventh game of Lamb's rehab assignment, and he's racked up 30 plate appearances, which is generally enough time for a player to return. That the White Sox haven't reinstated him yet is a sign that they are content with the current players on the active roster. Lamb had been filling in as a left fielder, but the White Sox are pleased with the work of Billy Hamilton, Brian Goodwin and Andrew Vaughn. As for Lamb's experience at corner infield, the team is full with Vaughn, Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada and Jake Burger.

Lamb (quadriceps) was assigned to Triple-A Charlotte for a rehab assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb landed on the shelf June 29 with a strained right quad, but he's ready to start a rehab assignment after missing the past two-plus weeks. The 30-year-old should only require a few games in the minors to get back up to speed.

Lamb was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right quadriceps.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb last played in Game 1 of Sunday's twin bill against the Mariners, but it's not clear at this point when or how the quad issue arose. The move comes retroactive to Monday, so Lamb will become eligible to be reinstated July 9 in Baltimore, though he may need more time to recover. The 30-year-old had been receiving semi-regular playing time in the White Sox injury-riddled outfield, slashing .224/.333/.424 with five homers and 10 RBI on the campaign.

Lamb went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's loss against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb ended an eight-game homer drought with his two-run shot off Lance McCullers in the second inning, but that would be all the offense the White Sox would muster in a game where they went 3-for-27 as a team. The outfielder is only hitting .234 on the season so while his homer was a nice thing to see, he's not carrying a lot of fantasy upside across most formats.

Lamb entered Saturday's game when Billy Hamilton departed early due to an oblique injury. He went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI in a 4-3 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Lamb has been a fixture in left field recently, particularly against right-handers, but took a seat Saturday with Andrew Vaughn activated from the COVID-19 protocols list and a lefty working for Detroit. He replaced Hamilton in the fifth inning and slotted in at right field, while Danny Mendick moved to cover center. Lamb has hit safely in nine of 10 games, going 11-for-28 (.393) with two doubles, three home runs, six RBI and eight runs. He's part of a group -- Vaughn, Hamilton and Leury Garcia are the others -- that is covering for the injured Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) and Luis Robert (hip).

Lamb started in left field and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 9-8 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb made his fifth straight start and sixth in the last seven games, all in the outfield and against right-handers. The lefty-hitting corner infielder has seen more time in the outfield than the infield in 2021, largely due to injuries. He's mostly played left field, which has become a revolving door after Eloy Jimenez's pectoral injury. More recently, the White Sox placed Andrew Vaughn on the COVID-19 list. Add in recurring hamstring issues for right fielder Adam Eaton and the need for Lamb's competitors to fill in at center field for Luis Robert (hip), and there are available at-bats in the outfield. After a slow start to the season, Lamb has picked it up recently, going 10-for-26 with three home runs over the last nine contests.

Lamb started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb filled in for Andrew Vaughn, who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. His second-inning blast, one of four solo home runs hit by the White Sox, turned out to be the game-winning hit. While Vaughn is out, Lamb, Billy Hamilton and Leury Garcia will share left field.

Lamb started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb, who came up to the big leagues as a corner infielder, made his eighth appearance as an outfielder this season. In addition to injuries in left and center field, the White Sox are also navigating an injury to right fielder Adam Eaton, who sat out both ends of the doubleheader with a hamstring injury. That gave Lamb an opportunity for at-bats, and he delivered his third home run and second in his last four games. He's hit safely in all four of those games, going 5-for-13 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and four runs.

Lamb made his first career start in right field Sunday and went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb, a corner infielder before this season, has started seven games in left field this season but was moved to right field in Yankee Stadium, which has a challenging left field. As such, Adam Eaton, normally the starter in right, moved to left field. Lamb has a modest three-game hitting streak (3-for-10) and raised his average to .194.

EDGE Analysis
