Jimmy Lambert Dealing With Shoulder Strain

Chicago White Sox right-hander Jimmy Lambert (shoulder) threw in another minor-league rehab game in Arizona on July 23, but he was returned from his rehab assignment on Saturday due to a right-shoulder strain. Lambert visited with Dr. Neal ElAttrache during spring training for a second opinion on his shoulder and was able to avoid surgery. He was put on the 60-day injured list on March 28 and started a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on July 19. With more shoulder problems, the 29-year-old is now firmly in jeopardy of missing the entire 2024 campaign. In his fourth season with Chicago last year, Lambert picked up his first career save but also had a 5.26 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with 41 strikeouts and 20 walks in 37 2/3 innings over 35 appearances (one start).

Jimmy Lambert Begins Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox right-hander Jimmy Lambert (shoulder) started a minor-league rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Friday. Lambert has yet to pitch for the White Sox in 2024 after being sidelined with shoulder discomfort way back in spring training. The 29-year-old is officially dealing with a rotator-cuff strain in his shoulder but appears to be getting close to making his season debut for the last-place White Sox. Because of how long he's been out, though, don't be surprised if he's not activated from the injured list until August. It's hard to imagine Lambert overtaking Michael Kopech for the closer's role in Chicago once he's healthy, so fantasy managers should continue to ignore him for now. The former fifth-rounder in 2016 out of Fresno State had his first career save in 2023 while also posting a rough 5.26 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with 41 K's and 20 walks in 37 2/3 innings pitched.

Jimmy Lambert, Joe Barlow Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Chicago White Sox relief pitchers Jimmy Lambert and Joe Barlow are both dealing with shoulder soreness in camp. Lambert will be sideline for 10 to 14 days, while Barlow could be out even longer. Lambert has not pitched since making his Cactus League debut on Feb. 25 and is going to be out for some time. Both Lambert, 29, and Barlow, 28, will most likely open the 2024 regular season on the injured list, which is more bad news for an already bad and shallow White Sox bullpen. Lambert picked up his first career save for the Pale Hose in 2023 in his fourth year with the team, but he also had a 5.26 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with 20 walks and 41 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings over 35 appearances (one start). Neither Lambert nor Barlow are worthy of fantasy consideration.
