Pirates prospect outfielder Andrew Lambo was diagnosed with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder.
Lambo suffered the injury running into a wall Sunday. Pirates director of player development Kyle Stark said he "probably will be impacted by it the rest of this season," though he is expected to play again "sooner rather than later." Lambo, who was acquired from the Dodgers in the Octavio Dotel trade, is batting .346/.443/.462 with two homers and seven RBI over his first 13 games with Double-A Altoona.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Pirates acquired OF Andrew Lambo and RHP James McDonald from the Dodgers for RHP Octavio Dotel.

A nice get for the Pirates. Lambo, 21, has posted decent numbers at Double-A over the last two seasons, even flashing power at times. He could develop into a starting corner outfielder for the Pirates within a few years. McDonald is a quality young righty as well.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo will return to Double-A Chattanooga on Friday after serving a 50-game suspension for a positive drug test.

"We look forward to him getting out there playing and playing hard," Dodgers farm director De Jon Watson said Thursday. "He's done everything Major League Baseball has asked and everything that we have asked from an organizational standpoint, and we'regoing to do everything we can to support him through this difficult time for him." Lambo tested positive for "a drug of abuse" last month. The 21-year-old outfielder was batting 342 with two home runs, seven doubles and two triples over his first 82 plate appearances before being suspended. He was ranked as the organization's No. 7 prospect by Baseball America over the winter.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

MLB suspended OF Andrew Lambo 50 games for a positive drug test.

Lambo tested positive for a "drug of abuse," which could mean a range of things. The 21-year-old outfielder was batting .342/.390/.566 with two home runs, seven doubles and two triples over 82 plate appearances this season at Double-A Chattanooga. He was probably in line for a promotion to Triple-A.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo went 2-for-4 and hit his first homer for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday.

Lambo is repeating at Chattanooga after posting a disappointing .256/.311/.407 line last year, but he’s off to a .354/.404/.563 start in 48 at-bats this season. He has 13 hits in his last six games.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and a walk for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday.

When we checked in on Lambo 10 days ago, we complained that he hadn't drawn a walk in 44 at-bats. Well, he's had six since, and he's currently sitting at .321/.371/.556 in 81 at-bats for the season. One couldn't ask much more from a 20-year-old in Double-A. The left-handed hitter even has identical 925 OPSs against lefties and righties.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo hit his first two homers for Double-A Chattanooga on Saturday.

Lambo played all but eight of his games last season in low-A ball, but the Dodgers opted to have him skip high-A and open this season at Double-A. The 20-year-old outfielder is hitting .364/.356/.614 so far. That he has yet to walk in 44 at-bats is a little troubling.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo missed both games of Thursday's doubleheader for low Single-A Great Lakes with a hip injury.

Lambo, who was injured Monday, is expected to return sometime this weekend.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo went 4-for-6 with three doubles in a doubleheader for low Single-A Great Lakes on Saturday.

Lambo had a poor May, but he's 11-for-26 with six extra-base hits already this month. His .283/.340/.475 line is plenty good for a 19-year-old in the Midwest League.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

Andrew Lambo went 3-for-5 with two homers, four RBI for low Single-A Great Lakes on Saturday.

Lambo is hitting .333/.381/.649 and is second in the Midwest League with 18 RBI in 15 games. Those are especially impressive numbers for a 19-year-old. Unless Andy LaRoche still counts, Lambo probably has the most offensive upside of anyone in the Dodger system.

Andrew Lambo - OF - Pirates

2007 fourth-round pick Andrew Lambo doubled three times Sunday for low Single-A Great Lakes.

Lambo has one of the most promising bats in the Dodgers system, and is off to a nice start as a 19-year-old in a full-season league. His glove, though, leaves something to be desired. He's already committed two errors in left field. Most think he'd be better off at first base.
