Lamet (forearm/hip) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Lamet hasn't pitched in a big-league game since late June because of right forearm inflammation. He appeared close to being activated after making a rehab outing in early August, but a hip infection ultimately postponed his return. He's since resumed throwing off a mound, and he could join the Padres' bullpen within the next couple of weeks if he's able to successfully get a few minor-league outings under his belt.
