Dinelson Lamet Stats

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet (elbow) expects to pitch in an intrasquad game later this week. Lamet has revved up his bullpen sessions, recently surpassing 40 pitches, and has experienced no setbacks on his balky elbow. The news updates on the 28-year-old have continued to be positive, but there's no timetable for his return. Lamet was a Cy Young candidate in 2020, posting a 2.09 ERA and 35 percent strikeout rate in 69 innings before being shut down with biceps and elbow issues. Fantasy managers rostering Lamet took a risk drafting him as an SP2 but can tentatively project his return by early May if all goes well.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet(elbow) made his spring training debut against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. He started the game and pitched just one inning, allowing a solo home run to Donovan Solano, but no other hits. Lamet threw 12 pitches in the outing, most of which were fastballs. His velocity was strong and he was hovering in the mid- to high-90s, with his final pitch hitting 98 mph. Lamet is coming back from an elbow injury that cut his 2020 season short. He had a strong year before the injury in 2020, posting a 2.09 ERA and 0.855 WHIP over 12 starts while averaging 12.1 K/9.

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet will make his first spring start Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. The 28-year-old's brilliant campaign was cut short last season with a biceps injury and he's been limited to simulated games throughout camp. Lamet excelled with a 2.09 ERA and 35 percent strikeout rate across 69 innings in 2020 before being shut down. After receiving a platelet-rich injection over the offseason, the Friars believe Lamet avoided major surgery but he's still a major injury risk entering 2021. Not expected to be ready for Opening Day, Lamet is a precarious fantasy proposition as an SP3 and top 100 player.
