Jake Lamb News
Free-agent corner infielder Jake Lamb and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in agreement on a minor-league pact. The veteran has largely played third base in his big-league career but has also logged more than 400 career innings at first base as well. The 33-year-old most recently appeared in 19 games with the Angels in 2023, hitting .216 with two homers across 54 trips to the plate. He also hit .289 with 11 home runs and an .874 OPS across 85 games at the Triple-A level between the Yankees and Angels organizations. For his big-league career, Lamb has hit .235 with 96 homers, 18 stolen bases, and a .753 OPS across 724 games played but has seen his bat fall significantly below the league average since the 2018 season.
The New York Yankees signed free-agent infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb to a minor-league deal on Friday and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 32-year-old left-handed hitter spent the first six-plus seasons of his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks, posting an .843 OPS with 59 homers from 2016-17. But injuries and poor performance led to his release in 2020. Since then, he's appeared in 127 big-league games for the A's, White Sox, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Mariners and Angels. He hit a solid .317 in 150 plate appearances for Triple-A Salt Lake this year but struggled with the Angels by hitting just .216 in 54 plate appearances. Lamb will strictly serve as infield and outfield depth in the minors for the Yankees for now.
The Los Angeles Angels selected the contract of corner infielder Jake Lamb on Wednesday, so he will be on the Opening Day roster. In other moves, the Angels placed right-handers Griffin Canning (groin) and Chris Rodriguez (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 27. Lamb dealt with a minor left gluteus injury at the end of spring training, but he's fine now and will give the Angels an experienced left-handed bat off the bench early in 2023. The 32-year-old can fill in at both third and first base. The 26-year-old Canning is expected to miss at least the first couple weeks of the season. With him out, Tucker Davidson is expected to operate as the team's sixth starter, but he won't be needed until mid-April.
