Lamb made his MLB debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2014 and had his most successful campaign in 2017, when he was named an All-Star.
The 30-year-old hasn’t reached that success again in the intervening years. Across 43 appearances with Chicago this season, he slashed .212/.321/.389 with six home runs and 13 RBIs.
Lamb will be available as the Blue Jays get set to face the Athletics again at 3:07 p.m. ET on Saturday. Watch the game live on Sportsnet or SN Now.
