The Rockies optioned Peter Lambert to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Fantasy Impact
Colorado is bringing up a couple new relievers with the bullpen having been utilized heavily this week. Lambert has posted a 7.24 ERA over 27 1/3 innings with Colorado so far this season.
Peter Lambert endured a rough start, surrendering seven earned runs on nine hits and striking out two over three innings in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
This performance further inflates his already elevated ERA to 7.61 and WHIP to 1.69 for the season. Lambert's inability to limit hits, evidenced by a high .378 BABIP, continues to undermine his fantasy value. With a modest strikeout rate of 7.6 K/9 and a concerning FIP of 4.61, Lambert remains a risky play in most fantasy formats. His struggles on the mound suggest limited upside, making him a less desirable option for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting pitching.
Peter Lambert allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over just 3.1 innings in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
This performance marks a step back in what has been an inconsistent season for Lambert, whose ERA ballooned to 5.66 with a WHIP of 1.50. His inability to go deep into games and a high BABIP of .339 suggest that hitters are consistently finding ways to capitalize on his offerings. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Lambert, as his high ERA and WHIP are detrimental in most formats, and his limited strikeouts offer little to counterbalance the damage. His role in fantasy lineups should be considered carefully, especially in leagues that heavily penalize earned runs and walks.
Peter Lambert will join the Rockies starting rotation while Kyle Freeland is sidelined.
Fantasy Impact
Lambert has posted a 2.31 ERA across 11 2/3 innings out of the bullpen so far this season for Colorado.
