Lamb (shoulder) underwent successful surgery Wednesday and should be fully recovered ahead of spring training, the Associated Press reports.
Lamb first sustained the left shoulder injury when he made a diving stop in a 15-inning win over the Dodgers back on April 2. He was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain that necessitated a six-week stay on the disabled list, but Lamb was never the same once he rejoined the Diamondbacks. He slashed a dreadful .217/.303/.349 in 52 games upon returning from the DL before aggravating the shoulder July 26, with follow-up examinations revealing he had been playing through a fraying rotator cuff. Though the surgery is expected to address his shoulder problems for good, it may be difficult to bank on Lamb re-emerging as a 30-homer force coming off such a major procedure.
