Peter Lambert was released by the Astros after triggering an out clause in his minor league deal. He had a strong spring, pitching 12 1/3 innings with a 4.26 ERA. Lambert previously played in Japan and has a history of injuries in MLB, where he has a 6.28 ERA over four seasons. His fastball velocity increased to 95 mph this spring, suggesting potential for improvement. The Astros may consider re-signing him on a new minor league deal, but his lack of options complicates his fit on the roster.
"Lambert pitched 12 1/3 innings with the 'Stros and held opponents to four runs on 16 hits and five walks with eight punchouts, showcasing a solid spring performance."
"His average fastball clocked in at 95 mph, significantly higher than the 93.3 mph he averaged with the Rockies, indicating a potential for better performance."
"The Astros seem to like Lambert's arm, but he's out of minor league options, making him a tough fit for a team with several relievers who can't be optioned."
