Dinelson Lamet Continues To Progress Positively
4 years agoSan 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.
