JUNE 27: Lamet felt some “fatigue in his forearm area” and had trouble getting the feel for his slider, manager Jayce Tingler said after the game (via AJ Cassavell of MLB.com). It’s not yet clear whether an injured list stint is under consideration.
JUNE 26: Dinelson Lamet was pulled after just 2 1/3 innings from his start tonight against the Diamondbacks, per MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell (via Twitter). The trainer came out to the mound after an apparent dip in velocity, and Lamet was removed from the game.
The Padres are on high alert when it comes to Lamet’s injury status. A UCL strain delayed Lamet’s start to the season. Forearm inflammation ended his first start of the season after just two innings. The Padres have remained conservative, limiting Lamet to three innings or less in each of his first six appearances. Only in June was he stretched out to four and five innings per start.
Watching his innings has worked in terms of performance. Lamet owns a 2.81 ERA/2.77 FIP in 32 innings with a 27.2 percent strikeout rate and 8.1 percent walk rate — both of which are better than league average. Those numbers did not hold against the last-place Diamondbacks on Saturday night, however, as he surrendered four earned runs on six hits — including two home runs — in 2 1/3 innings. He recorded one strikeout.
It must’ve been a sprain. You can’t strain a ligament
Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Every single thread. Imagine telling the same joke every time you opened your mouth
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I offer prayers only to those dealing with injury or illness. Most threads here have nothing to do with injury or illness. I write about many different subjects in other threads. If you are an atheist and find my prayers offensive, please mute me.
Why target the atheist? On average an atheist would be more tolerant of freedom of spiritual beliefs than a religious person.
I understand there are some here who are very confrontational and try to force their views on others. I did not target atheists, as I said “if you are, and find”. Those who are religious wouldn’t consider prayers to be offensive.
Imagine getting offended by someone being empathetic.
RIP he was so young
Yes, reminds me of those who get offended by “Merry Christmas”.
Reminds me of those that get offended to you lost by 7 million votes, get over it
Reading comprehension is sorely lacking on this site. If someone thinks that’s “targeting” atheists, they’re just looking for an excuse to be offended and play the victim.
If you are being genuine in your thoughts and prayers for all these guys, cool. The reason it sounds like you are not being genuine in your thoughts and prayers is because it’s usage in response to shootings and playing coi as if you are completely unaware to that fact is why it comes off as if you are not being genuine in your prayers. I don’t know you as a person so I can’t say if you are praying for 300+ mlb players at a given time, but if you are, cool, just explaining why it always comes off as really sarcastic to me and I assume others as well.
Oh and for clarification as if anyone cared, I’m not an atheist at all I’m a Christian so I’m not “offended” at prayer, or merry Christmas lol
He stressed atheists 1984, though I doubt any would be offended, and that’s the point you fail to comprehend.
I wonder if they have a vaccination for the UCL strain.
Lamet can’t catch a break.
Well he’s pitching injured, so…
Padres have not taken care of Lamet physically. Out again lose in velocity what does it mean?
It’s not like Lamet does not have a say in his plan of treatment. It’s easy to see why both Lamet and the organization would look into all types of non-surgical treatment before going through a second TJ surgery. It’s easy for us as fans and fantasy managers to find fault when surgery is delayed in attempts of other forms of less invasive treatment. With the majority of health issues, surgery is the LAST option for treatment.
A 2nd TJ usually means they end up in the bullpen, is they can pitch at all. The Padres are doing the right thing to try and avoid that. That said, it’s well known they are shopping for more starting pitching. After last season Preller isn’t take chances.
It’s almost a sure thing they aren’t shopping for starters. Bullpen yes, but not starters. Doesn’t make any sense.
I’ll also add that any doctor in the world worth a damn, would always prefer not having surgery. Surgery is a last resort. When we’re talking about the actual health of a human body vs. throwing a ball .. it’s silly to judge someone’s plan on how to proceed properly with an injury. The reality is that it’s a tragedy. It’s a shame to see his obvious CY potential and his pure nasty strikeout stuff and imagine what kind of numbers he could put up if healthy. How unstoppable the Padres would be with 200 innings and a playoff run with him at full strength. But this is reality. The dude can’t stay healthy. Although his talent is there, he’s probably not physically blessed to be able to throw a ball as much as an mlb starter needs to. No one to blame but nature. Reminds me of that super talented Marlins SPJosh Johnson. It’s a tease to see people blessed with such talent but no durability.
Maybe he’d be better suited for a closer role.
Reminds me of Jameson Taillon now. He is just now really getting back to pitching healthy. Considering his history, who knows if it will last.
the only way for him to definitively avoid injury is not play, and that helps no one in this situation.
Padres have a reckless training staff.
People have been calling them out for it since last year.
People Magazine
Lament would be talking with other orthopedic surgeons and not just the team training staff. The only place that I have seen the Padres training staff called out is on message boards like this by people who have no direct knowledge of any team’s training staff let alone the Padres.
The teams track record isn’t great.
They keep putting guys out there who require injured list stints.
Esqrequire Magazine
@cryptonerd bruh people have been calling out the Padres’ training staff way longer than a year.
Ever thought it might be the sticky icky; or lack there of ?? Dude did kinda come out of no where at age 27.
I don’t know about overall, but after the crackdown, any time I hear that a pitcher, “can’t get a feel for (insert pitch here)”, it definitely makes me wonder about that.
The Padres can’t force any treatment on any player. Many players will play through pain and never tell anyone that something is wrong. In this case, Lamet had a sudden drop in velocity. That prompted the trainer to go out. If he was able to maintain the velocity, and he does not say anything, we would not be here commenting on this now, This is not like it was 50+ years ago. If the Padres or any other team would be mistreating any player, the agent, if not the player themselves would be all over social media letting everyone know what would be going on. Grievances and or lawsuits would be filed. To say that the Padres have not taken care of him is the easy cop out response.
It’s not “The Padres”.
The player makes the decision.
Imagine believing an employer could force someone to have surgery….
The real truth is.. he sucks!
You wish he did
Padres are trying to win and will send their best players out onto the field while injured. If Lamet is going to have continued success in the league it will be as a pitcher rather than a thrower. He should spend his time off watching a sub 90 pitcher throw a shutout. He might learn something before it’s too late.
What is When does Davies face the Dodgers again?
