Impact As usual, Lamb won't be in the lineup with a lefty (Dallas Keuchel) on the mound for the opposition. Chad Pinder takes over at third base in his absence.

Belts third long ball Lamb went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.
Impact Lamb took Yoshihisa Hirano deep to give Oakland a 3-2 lead in the seventh. After struggling mightily during his time with the Diamondbacks this season, Lamb has filled in nicely for Matt Chapman (hip) at the hot corner for the A's. Since making his Athletics debut Sept. 14, he's gone 12-for-45 with three homers, four doubles and nine RBI. He figures to start at third base in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs Tuesday, with right-hander Lucas Giolito expected to take the ball for the White Sox.

Puts together productive weekend Lamb, who went 1-for-3 with a two-run single in a loss to the Giants on Sunday, delivered five total RBI on just three hits, including a home run, in the three-game weekend series...
Impact The slugging third baseman squared up on his second home run in an Athletics uniform in Saturday's 6-0 win, and he was one of the sole bright spots for Oakland in Sunday's disastrous 14-2 loss. One of the keys to Lamb looking like a drastically different hitter than the one the Diamondbacks essentially gave up on just over a week ago has been immediate reduction in strikeout rate; he's whiffed just three times over his first 23 plate appearances with the A's after going down on strikes 17 times in 50 plate appearances with Arizona.

Oakland resurgence continues Lamb, who was originally out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over Colorado.
Impact The apparently rejuvenated slugger continued to look like a completely different player than the one whose 5-for-43 line earlier in the season led to his release from the Diamondbacks. Lamb is now 5-for-12 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and three runs in three games with the Athletics, with his caliber of performance especially timely in the wake of Matt Chapman's season-ending hip injury.

Retreats to bench Lamb is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Impact Though the Athletics are opposing a right-hander (German Marquez) in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Lamb will take a seat after two straight turns as Oakland's designated hitter. He thrived at the dish in his first two games with the club, going 3-for-7 with a home run, two doubles and three runs scored. Expect Lamb to continue to see steady work against right-handed pitching for the remainder of the regular season, and likely the playoffs as well if Chad Pinder (hamstring) is still sidelined.

Launches homer in A's debut Lamb went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored during a 9-0 win over the Mariners in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.
Impact Making his Oakland debut, Lamb took Brady Lail deep in the sixth inning for the final run of the day, and his first homer of the year. The 29-year-old figures to get semi-consistent work between third base and DH with Matt Chapman (hip) on the shelf, but Lamb's .380 OPS in 50 plate appearances for Arizona this season prior to being DFA'd last week isn't encouraging from a fantasy standpoint.
