The White Sox announced Monday that Lambert (elbow) will be included as part of the team's 60-man roster pool.
Lambert is just over a year removed from Tommy John surgery, so he won't necessarily be ready to go when the MLB season resumes July 23 or 24. Even so, the White Sox's decision to include him in in their player pool suggests Lambert is expected to be ready to go at some point before 2020 ends. Prior to getting hurt last June, Lambert spent the 2019 campaign at Double-A Birmingham, posting a 4.55 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 70:27 K:BB across 59.1 innings spanning 11 starts.
