Lambert Joins Astros' Taxi Squad for Potential Start
17 Apr
Summary
- Peter Lambert added to Houston Astros' taxi squad.
- He may start Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
- Lambert has previous MLB starting experience with Rockies.
The Houston Astros have placed pitcher Peter Lambert on their taxi squad, indicating a need for additional arms. This move occurred less than a week after Spencer Arrighetti was similarly elevated and subsequently started a game, delivering a strong performance.
Lambert, who was signed to a minor league deal last offseason, could be slated to start Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, as indicated by a TBA in the probable starters list. He is well-rested, having last pitched on April 10th for Triple-A Sugar Land, where he had his sharpest outing of the season.
With Major League experience, primarily as a starter for the Colorado Rockies from 2019, Lambert brings a history of 35 starts in 74 appearances, though with a 6.28 ERA. His addition suggests the Astros are looking for options to cover potential starting rotation injuries.
