Dinelson Lamet News
San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet surrendered four earned runs in five-plus innings Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander was cruising through five frames before attempting to pitch into the sixth for the first time this season, promptly yielding three knocks before being pulled and watching the bullpen complete the late collapse. Overall, Lamet allowed four hits and a walk while striking out six. After dealing with a balky elbow this offseason, Tuesday was Lamet's longest outing as he gradually resumes a normal starter's workload. The 28-year-old owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 27 percent strikeout rate across 23 innings. While his wipeout slider remains effective, Lamet's fastball has not reached the efficiency of prior years, resulting in a sky-high hard-hit rate of 46 percent. He'll be a risky SP4 next week at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies.
San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet fanned six batters in four frames Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander threw 47 of 72 pitches for strikes, surrendering one earned run on four hits and a walk. It's uncertain if Lamet had more juice in the tank, but he was lifted for a pinch-hitter after two Padres exited the game due to injuries the prior inning. The good news is the 28-year-old appears past his prior elbow issues, but he still hasn't surpassed four innings in any outing. Overall, Lamet holds a 2.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 27 percent strikeout rate over 18 innings (seven appearances, five starts). At some point, Lamet will need to assume a larger workload, so fantasy managers should hold tight for the upside.
San Diego Padres manager Jayce Tingler said that the team is going to a six-man starting rotation, beginning on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The left-handed Blake Snell made the start on Monday, with Joe Musgrove, Chris Paddack, Ryan Weathers, Dinelson Lamet and Yu Darvish following him this week. Lamet got a late start to the season due to injury, but he's slowly building up his workload and went a season-high three frames in the win over the Seattle Mariners last Saturday. The 28-year-old right-hander walked none and struck out five in his latest outing, so fantasy managers should be encouraged by his most recent outing. Lamet should give his managers solid ratios and strikeout totals, but keep in mind that his workload is still being managed.
