Dinelson Lamet Undergoes Procedure For Hip Infection

By Mark Polishuk | August 12, 2021 at 7:46pm CDT

Dinelson Lamet’s right arm has been an injury concern for the better part of a year, but the Padres hurler has now hit another roadblock in his recovery from forearm inflammation.  Manager Jayce Tingler told reporters (including The Athletic’s Dennis Lin) that Lamet underwent a procedure yesterday to have a hip infection “cleaned out,” and it will result in more missed time.  “It’s gonna be a little while, because they had to go in and cut some things out,” Tingler said.  “Is that a week or 10-day setback?  I don’t know yet.”

While Tingler’s mention of a 7-10 day timeframe would seemingly indicate that this might not be a major delay for Lamet, there is obviously still uncertainly, considering that Lamet will have to recover from this procedure on top of his planned forearm rehab.  Lamet began a minor league rehab assignment on August 4 that has consisted of one in-game appearance and a pair of live batting practice sessions.  Since the Padres were already planning to bring Lamet back as a reliever rather than as a starter, he didn’t need to build as much strength in his arm, so there was some thought that Lamet might have been activated off the injured list within a week or so.

Lamet suffered a UCL strain near the end of last season, which delayed his 2021 season debut until April 21.  From there, he had a 10-day stint on the IL due to forearm inflammation prior to his current injured list visit, which began on June 27.  All in all, Lamet has tossed only 34 1/3 innings, and his absences have been a major factor in the Padres’ lack of rotation depth.

When Lamet has pitched, he has performed pretty well — a 3.67 ERA/3.88 SIERA and above-average strikeout and walk rates, though opposing batters were making a lot of hard contact against the right-hander’s offerings.  While it represents a step backwards from Lamet’s outstanding 2020 numbers, it certainly stands to reason that he can be a big weapon out of San Diego’s bullpen, once he eventually gets back onto a big league mound.

      Baseball fans should hope so. His back-to-back starts against the Rockies and Dodgers last September were deGromian. A stupendous talent.

      The Phillies won. How are the Mets about to be in first?

      Enjoy the next 13 games. You’re about to see the Mets try their hand against the best two teams in the league.

      Run differential:
      Dodgers +181
      Giants +136
      Mets -13

        Well I would hope that’s your run difference when you have the Rockies and Diamondbacks in your division…. Aren’t you guys like 500 when you don’t play those teams??? Can’t wait till you lose in the playoffs this year btw…

        Correction Mets were crushed and swept at home by the Dodgers, outscored 22-10. At least you have something to look forward to… Oh wait you have to play the Dodgers 4 more times later this week which is sandwiched between two 3 game series with the Giants. Lol have fun

    They traded Anderson Espinoza away because he’s always injured but with a high up-side.

    Maybe Lament was the guy they should have dumped.

    Beast, good stuff, just can’t stay on the field.

      Lamet finished fourth in Cy Young voting last year and has been effective when on the mound this year. Espinoza has never even played a big league game yet. There’s no way anybody would rather have Espinoza over Lamet.

    I dought Lamet makes it back this year. After surgery and flush infection would be 4-6 weeks before he picks up baseball. He needs to protect his lively hood and career.

    Awful news…as an Orthopedic Surgeon I can tell you that Lamet is like;y done for the season. Hip infection is no joke and can often lead to premature arthritis. His career could be in jeopardy.

    Its also extremely rare for a young healthy person to get a hip infection. I wonder what led to this?
