Dinelson Lamet Eyeing Midsummer Return
6 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (elbow) threw an up-down bullpen session of around 50 pitches recently, according to manager Andy Green. Lamet is recovering from Tommy John surgery last April and is eyeing a midsummer return, although he doesn't have a firm timeline. The good news is the right-hander is throwing all of his pitches and his velocity is back to where the team wants it. The 26-year-old could become a real rotation for the Friars in the second half of the season, making him a stash candidate in deeper formats. He went 7-8 with a 4.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 139 strikeouts in 114 1/3 innings. The strikeout upside is intriguing.
