Lambert (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert entered Tuesday's start having not allowed a single earned run over his last 15 innings and had allowed just one run when he was pulled from the contest. However, he left the bases loaded when he exited the game and all three runners eventually came around to score to end Lambert's start with four earned runs. With four starts under his belt, Lambert owns a 1.96 ERA and a 9:5 K:BB through 18.1 innings as part of the Rockies rotation. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start in Milwaukee early next week.

Lambert did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk over six innings against Washington. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert more than held his own Wednesday, limiting the Nationals to just one unearned run on the afternoon while notching his first quality start of the season. The right-hander produced three 1-2-3 innings and needed only 78 pitches to get through six frames. He has not allowed an earned run over his last 14 innings of work (spanning three starts) and lowered his season ERA to 4.76 with Wednesday's performance.

Lambert is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies have been short on reliable starting pitching nearly all season, so it comes as little surprise that Lambert will get another turn through the rotation after he dazzled in his return from Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend. Prior to being recalled Friday, Lambert had worked in a multi-inning relief role with Colorado earlier in the season, but he looks like he'll get a chance to make regular starts with the big club now that he's had a chance to get fully stretched out in the minors. While facing off against Miami last weekend, Lambert held the Marlins scoreless over five innings while striking out three and allowing just four baserunners. The matchup with a Washington offense that has been a bottom-third unit in terms of wRC+ (95, 22nd in the majors) is a favorable one on paper for Lambert, though Nationals Park has historically skewed hitter-friendly.

Lambert (2-1) tossed five scoreless innings, scattering three hits and one walk, to earn his second win of the season Friday versus the Marlins. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday afternoon and seemingly secured his spot in the Rockies' injury-ravaged rotation with a dominant effort at loanDepot park in Miami. He needed just 77 pitches (51 strikes) to navigate the five scoreless frames. Up next is another favorable matchup against the Athletics, though that game will be played at hitter-friendly Coors Field and Lambert carries an overall 5.49 ERA in 39.1 major-league innings this year.

Lambert was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He will start for the Rockies on Friday in Miami, taking the rotation spot vacated by Connor Seabold, who has been demoted to the bullpen. Lambert is no safe bet to be an upgrade, having collected a 6.29 ERA in 34.1 innings of work this season at the major-league level.

Lambert will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Friday at Miami, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saunders adds that Connor Seabold has been demoted to the Rockies' bullpen. Lambert holds an ugly 6.29 ERA in 34.1 innings of work this season at the major-league level, but he pitched pretty well in his last two starts with Albuquerque, scattering three earned runs while tallying eight strikeouts across 8.1 frames.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lambert covered three scoreless innings as Colorado's opening pitcher in Saturday's loss to the Tigers, but he's now being sent down in favor of a fresh arm. The 26-year-old has a 6.29 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB across 34.1 innings with the Rockies this season, mostly while working as a reliever. According to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, the Rockies plan to give Lambert a longer look in the rotation following the All-Star break, but the right-hander will first get stretched out over the course of about three starts with Albuquerque.

Lambert allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over three scoreless innings in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Tigers. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies utilized a bullpen game Saturday, and Lambert covered the most innings as the opener. Three of his five scoreless outings this season have come in his last five appearances. He's also given up multiple runs in seven of his 15 outings. The right-hander remains a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. He's pitched to a lackluster 6.29 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB through 34.1 innings while posting a 1-1 record this year.

Lambert will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies will be utilizing their bullpen to get through the game, but Lambert will start the contest. He has pitched as many as 3.1 innings this season, though both of his most recent outings have lasted only one frame. He's unlikely to work deep enough into the game to qualify for the win.

Lambert was recalled Thursday from Triple-A Albuquerque.

EDGE Analysis

He will replace Dinelson Lamet (back) in the Rockies' bullpen ahead of Thursday's series finale against the visiting Brewers. Lambert spent some time in the majors last month but did not make an appearance.
