Lambert will serve as an opener for the White Sox on Monday in Cleveland, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be drawing the start in place of the injured Mike Clevinger (wrist), Lambert hasn't recorded more than five outs in an appearance this season and is unlikely to work more than once through the order. Chicago called up Jesse Scholtens from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, and he could end up serving as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen once Lambert exits the contest.

Lambert allowed zero runs on zero hits and one walk while striking out two over one inning in Friday's 3-1 win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert surrendered a one-out walk to Jake Cronenworth, but he was able to strike out Brandon Drury and Josh Bell to record his first scoreless outing in his last four appearances. Although the 27-year-old righty got on the right track with a scoreless outing, walks are still an issue. Lambert has walked six batters over his last four appearances. Nonetheless, Lambert is putting together a solid season in his first extended run in the majors, and he looks much more comfortable in the bullpen rather than as a starter. Since being called up in early June, he has amassed 30 scoreless outings in 39 appearances and recorded 10 holds while lowering his season ERA to 3.33 over 46 innings, 39.1 of which have come as a reliever. Lambert has cemented himself as a reliable setup man, and he will look to gain some positive momentum as the season winds down.

Lambert was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert will return to the big leagues just two days after being optioned back to Triple-A, as Vince Velasquez (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The reliever owns a 3.45 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 15.2 innings in nine appearances with the White Sox this season.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert posted a 2.00 ERA in 9.0 innings over seven appearances in June, but he will cede his roster spot to the returning Liam Hendiks. Lambert figures to garner consideration next time the White Sox need to bring up a pitcher from the minor-league ranks.

Lambert threw a scoreless inning while allowing one walk Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert entered the game in the sixth inning in relief of Michael Kopech. He has not surrendered a run since being recalled June 10, tallying four strikeouts as opposed to two walks across 5.2 innings. Lambert has served in a low-leverage role to this point in the campaign, but he has a solid 2.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.

Lambert was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert will return to the majors after being sent down last Friday. In three appearances including two starts with the White Sox this season, the right-hander has produced a 5.14 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with seven strikeouts over seven innings. Gavin Sheets was optioned to Charlotte in a corresponding move Friday.

Lambert was returned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was available out of the White Sox's bullpen during their weekend series in Toronto, but he'll head back to the minors since Dylan Cease and Kendall Graveman were reinstated from the restricted list Friday. Lambert has made three appearances (two starts) for the White Sox this year, and he's posted a 5.14 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in seven innings.

Lambert was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert served as a starter in his first two major-league appearances of the season and has pitched exclusively out of the rotation in Charlotte. However, the White Sox have their starting rotation established through this weekend, so it seems likely that the 27-year-old will operate as a long-relief option out of the bullpen for now. Over his first two big-league starts this year, Lambert posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 6.2 innings.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte following Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old started Game 2 of the twin bill and took the loss after giving up two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 3.2 innings. Lambert made two spot starts for Chicago during the past week, but he'll now return to the minors with Lucas Giolito (abdomen) poised to rejoin the rotation this weekend.

Lambert (0-2) allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five across 3.2 innings to take the loss in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert made his second start while filling the rotation spot vacated by Lucas Giolito (abdomen). He kept the ball in the yard but still surrendered three extra-base hits, two of which accounted for the runs he surrendered. Giolito is expected to return to the mound Sunday, meaning Lambert will lose his spot in the rotation and potentially his spot on the big-league roster.
