Lambert (0-1) took the loss after allowing two runs on two hits across three innings during Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Mariners. He walked one and struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert gave up a two-run home run to Jarred Kelenic in the second inning but didn't allow a base runner in the first or third. As expected, he only threw 49 pitches and will likely have a similar workload during his next outing -- Tuesday, April 19 versus Cleveland -- while he ramps up his conditioning following a shortened spring training. Lucas Giolito (abdominal) was placed on the injured list Tuesday, and Lambert is expected to continue drawing short spot starts in the ace's absence, though Giolito said recently that he's feeling much better than he did after initially suffering the injury.

White Sox manager Tony LaRussa said Lambert will take Lucas Giolito's (abdomen) spot in the rotation beginning with Thursday's game against the Mariners, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert is the next man up to take a temporary rotation spot while Giolito spends time on the injured list, but the White Sox anticipate that the latter will miss only a start or two. Since he covered just three innings in his season debut for Triple-A Charlotte on April 7 prior to being called up Tuesday, Lambert isn't fully built up for a starter's workload and is likely to have a limited pitch count in Thursday's outing.

Lambert was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With both Lucas Giolito (abdomen) and AJ Pollock (hamstring) being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Lambert was called up from Triple-A Charlotte to fill a roster spot. The 27-year-old has had short stints in the MLB in the past couple seasons, starting three games and appearing in six total contests between the 2020 and 2021 campaigns. Overall, he has produced a 5.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP while walking six and striking out 12 batters over 15 innings. With Giolito on the shelf, Lambert could be asked to make a spot start or two while with the big-league club for the time being.

The White Sox optioned Lambert to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He was one of nine players optioned or reassigned Tuesday in the latest round of the White Sox's cuts from big-league camp. Lambert is expected to slot into the Charlotte rotation for the second year in a row after producing a 4.76 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 64.1 innings across 19 starts. The 27-year-old will be an option to make spot starts for the big club in 2022 if the White Sox's rotation depth should be tested at any point.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander earned his first major-league win Tuesday against the Athletics when he allowed a run in five innings, but he'll head back to the minors since Lance Lynn (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox. Lambert has posted a 6.23 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 13 innings across four appearances (three starts) in the majors this year, and he'll be a candidate to rejoin the White Sox if they need a spot starter.

Lambert (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against Oakland after tossing five innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and two walks while fanning two.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert has been inconsistent over his four appearances (three starts), which makes it difficult to predict whether he'll remain in the rotation the remainder of the regular season. However, Tuesday's turn was his longest big-league outing of the season, offering some reason for optimism. Lambert owns a 6.23 ERA through four appearances at the MLB level this year, but he's given up just one earned run in each of his last two outings.

Lambert is set to start Tuesday's game against the A's, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert was recalled by the White Sox on Monday, and it will take him no time at all to get his next start in the big leagues. Lambert went 5.0 innings in his last Triple-A start but hasn't gone more than 3.2 innings at the top level this season.

The White Sox recalled Lambert from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert has made just three appearances at the big-league level this season, giving up eight earned runs on 13 hits in eight innings of work. His 4.98 ERA in 18 Triple-A starts doesn't inspire much confidence, either. Even so, Lambert will likely be counted on to eat innings Tuesday in Oakland, either as a traditional starter or primary pitcher out of the bullpen. Matt Foster was optioned to Triple-A to clear a spot on the roster.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte following Sunday's win over Cleveland, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert was called up to start Sunday's contest, and he allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in three innings. The right-hander should continue to serve as a starter at Triple-A Charlotte but could be available as a starter or reliever for the major-league club.

The White Sox recalled Lambert from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday. He's scheduled to start the White Sox's series finale with Cleveland, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lambert has started in all 13 of his appearances with Charlotte this season, but he's maxed out at 64 pitches over his past three outings. With that in mind, Lambert can't be counted on to work deep into Sunday's start, even though he projects to cover the most innings for the White Sox. Reynaldo Lopez covered two frames in relief Thursday, but he could still be a candidate to pitch about two innings once Lambert departs the contest.
