Lambert was returned to Triple-A Charlotte following Sunday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert served as the 27th man in Sunday's twin bill, and he made a relief appearance in the nightcap. He allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 1.1 innings, and he'll now head back to the minors following his lackluster outing.

Lambert has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to serve as the 27th man for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox have not yet announced a starter, so Lambert could be a candidate to take the ball for the nightcap. Lambert's lone big-league outing this season came in a spot start during the May 31 twin bill against Cleveland. He took the loss in that contest, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk across 3.2 innings.

Lambert was returned to Triple-A Charlotte after starting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

As the 27th man for the doubleheader, Lambert allowed three runs on seven hits in 3.1 innings. It was the third big-league appearance for the righty, and he may be called up again for a spot start if the White Sox play another doubleheader before Michael Kopech (hamstring), who usually fills that role, returns from the injured list.

Lambert has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte and will start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was announced Sunday that Lambert would take the ball in one of Monday's two games. He'll make his first major-league start in Game 2, with Carlos Rodon taking the ball in Game 1. Manager Tony La Russa said that Lambert is stretched out to be able to throw between 65 and 70 pitches, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Lambert will be called up to start one of the games in Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert made two relief appearances for the White Sox in 2020, and he'll make his first major-league start Monday. He made five starts for Triple-A Charlotte to begin the season and posted a 7.71 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 11.2 innings across five starts with the team.

Lambert struck out two over a scoreless inning in Saturday's spring game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert made his Cactus League debut when he was the first of nine relievers to pitch Saturday. The 26-year-old right-hander will eventually be stretched out as rotation depth for the White Sox and will be a member of starting staff at Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

Lambert (forearm) will stay stretched out and should serve as starting depth during the 2021 season, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert missed most of the 2020 campaign due to a right forearm strain, but he threw a live bullpen session Wednesday. Although he served as a reliever in each of his first two major-league appearances last year, manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that the team intends to use him as starting depth while calling him a "future rotation fixture." La Russa said he has no plans to make him a reliever heading into the season, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Monday that Lambert (forearm) will begin a throwing program soon and should be ready to go for spring training, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert was shut down in late July with a right forearm strain, an injury that can often be a precursor to Tommy John surgery. While Lambert is dealing with a more severe strain than the one that sidelined Garrett Crochet for the tail end of Chicago's wild-card round loss to the Athletics, both pitchers are expected to be able to treat their injuries through rest and rehab rather than having to go under the knife this offseason. Assuming Lambert hits no snags in his recovery and is cleared for the spring, he shouldn't be impeded in his efforts to win a bullpen job with the White Sox.

Lambert (forearm) will be reevaluated in six weeks, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert was working his way back from Tommy John surgery when he suffered a forearm strain. Given that he won't even be reevaluated for another six weeks, his chances of appearing at any point this season appear quite slim, as there are already just eight weeks left in the regular season.

The White Sox transferred Lambert (forearm) to the 45-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago will still have a full 40-man roster after Lambert's move to the 45-day IL, which suggests that Nomar Mazara (illness) had been on the COVID-19 IL before being activated Monday. The transaction means that Lambert won't be eligible to join the White Sox until at least September while he recovers from a forearm strain, an injury he picked up in summer camp while he was completing his rehab for his June 2019 Tommy John surgery.
