Padres Place Dinelson Lamet On Injured List With Forearm Inflammation

By Anthony Franco | June 27, 2021 at 3:31pm CDT

Before this afternoon’s game against the Diamondbacks, the Padres placed right-hander Dinelson Lamet on the 10-day injured list with inflammation in his throwing forearm. James Norwood was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to replace him on the active roster.

Lamet left last night’s start in the third inning due to what manager Jayce Tingler called forearm “fatigue.” Today’s diagnosis of inflammation is a bit more concerning at first glance, although the team has yet to provide any other update.

It’s the continuation of a rather alarming series of arm issues for Lamet, who underwent a Tommy John surgery in April 2018. His breakout 2020 season was ended early after he felt biceps discomfort in his final regular-season start last September. The Padres played things cautiously with Lamet, bringing him along slowly and having him begin this season on the injured list. The 28-year-old returned in late April but left his first start with forearm soreness. He was back by early May but is now dealing with renewed issues in the area.

In between the injuries, Lamet has shown top-of-the-rotation ability. He pitched to a pristine 2.09 ERA/3.16 SIERA across 69 innings during last year’s shortened season, earning him a fourth-place finish in NL Cy Young award balloting. Lamet hasn’t quite pitched at that level this season, but he’s again been effective. Through 34 1/3 frames, he’s worked to a 3.67 ERA/3.82 SIERA. Ryan Weathers, recently optioned to Triple-A, looks likely to be recalled to assume Lamet’s rotation spot while he’s out.

    Playing it “cautiously” is not all that cautious an approach.

      Because “playing it cautiously” worked so well with Clevinger AND Lamet last year? It went from “fatigue,” which was a Preller lie at the outset, to “forearm inflammation” in a day. Last year it went from “couldn’t get loose,” to “general soreness” to “forearm tightness” to TJ for Clevinger, and PRP injections (TJ avoidance?) for Lamet. And general radio silence and vague responses from Preller in the off season and through Spring Training.

      Lamet will be having his SECOND TJ very soon.

    Weathers is on an innings limit so they will need an additional SP if Lamet is out longterm. This would have be when Gore enters MLB, but he’s still struggling badly in minors.

      Miguel Diaz has already started 2 games for the Padres this year, has been doing a great job and is already on the roster.

          The Padres will never know until they give him a chance. He has earned one with his starting experience and performance this year. Unless the Padres know something I don’t. Innings limit/not ready for full starters workload?

      They should just give the spot to Weathers full time. How many injuries do we have to go through before we realize innings/pitch limits DO NOT WORK

        It’s the injuries that don’t happen that go unnoticed. Weathers is age 21, pitched a lot last year, and has thrown about 1000 pitches this year. Doubt they put his arm at risk and bring him back up when the whole point of his return to minors was to temper his innings.

          Sending Weathers down had nothing to do with limiting his innings. They put him right in the rotation.

          Was about stretching him out. We already know he can get major league hitters out but he needs to be able to do it for 6 innings at a time.

          Baloney. You should check his game logs. He started two of his last three games, going 5 in each. His second start of the season (in April!) he went 5, and threw about 90 pitches.

          “Stretching him out” is pure fiction.

          @SDHotDawg 3 and a third innings per appearance on average. They’re stretching him out.

          But thanks for not accusing them of service time manipulation like @BeforeMcCourt did. We already know that Preller doesn’t do that, much as he should.

          @ SDHD. Yeah, I’ve noticed that. But to some degree we should take the team’s word that they will limit his innings this year.. We’ll see. My point was that he’s probably not the rotation answer the rest of the season/~ playoffs given these supposed restrictions.

          @Remove … IP “per appearance” is meaningless since 6 of his appearances were in relief. Look at his starts, then you can actually come to a realistic conclusion.

          BTW … He’s manipulated service time before. Hunter Renfroe.

          @SDHotDawg I’m not convinced that Renfroe getting sent down was about service time. Just because they got the extra year of control by sending him down for a month doesn’t mean that was THE reason (or even A reason) he got sent down. Renfroe really did have things to work on in AAA at that point. And if Preller really wanted to manipulate service time, he would have sent Margot down too, as service time manipulation is intended for your best-of-the-best young players and Margot was, at least at the time, looking closer to that than Renfroe was.

          In any event, if his ultimate plan was to get the extra year of either of them or any other player, he would never have called them up to start the season and risked them playing too well to get sent down without the MLBPA filing a grievance.

    Would have liked to see them hold him out until the second half of the year but oh well.

    Wonder if they could do it all over again if the A’s would trade Jose Canseco for Ruben Sierra, Bobby Witt and Jeff Russell?

      Probably not as Tony LaRussa reportedly couldn’t stand Ruben Sierra (neither could Joe Torre during Sierra’s first go with the Yankees)

    Man, that sucks. Not a Padres fan but I loved watching him pitch last year. Hopefully it’s nothing serious and he can back to his 2020 form. Guy has nasty stuff.

    Weathers was sent down 11 days ago, tomorrow is 12. i believe someone on another thread said 15 days was the number he had to stay down to gain another year of control. If someone can confirm that # I’m all ears

    Just observing. Truly Preller would be dumb to not hold him down for the extra 3 days, not knocking him. But it’s noteworthy

      The 2021 season last a total of 186 days. A player gains a full year of service time if he spends 172 on the major league roster. So Weathers would have to miss 15 days to fail to accrue 172 days of service time.

      In any event, we’ve already established that Preller doesn’t give a rat’s behind about service time.
