Lambert has been on the injured list all season after suffering a right rotator cuff strain during spring training, and he was pulled off his rehab assignment earlier this month after aggravating the injury. He has now elected to undergo surgery to address the issue, which will prevent him from pitching in the majors this season. It's currently unknown if he'll be ready to go for the start of spring training next year.
