Lamet (hip/forearm) threw live batting practice Monday and is lined up to return to the Padres on Wednesday, per MLB.com.
The right-hander recently wrapped up a rehab stint with Low-A Lake Elsinore and now looks ready to return to the majors for the first time since late June. Lamet has been limited to just 11 outings this season due to injury, racking up a 3.67 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB across 34.1 frames. Nine of his appearances have come as a starter, but he'll be working out of the bullpen for what's likely to be the remainder of the season upon rejoining the big club.
