While Mike Clevinger is in the rotation following a second Tommy John surgery, Dinelson Lamet, on a different path back from a similar injury, has been far from returning to form in the bullpen
It wasn’t the exact same decision in front of Lamet as he, team officials and team doctors pored over the scans of his right elbow and forearm some 20 months ago — the damage nor recommendation weren’t at all as definitive as they were in Clevinger’s case — but the fork in the road was daunting nonetheless.
Lamet was speaking in front of his locker Monday afternoon. Hours later, he was summoned from the bullpen in the eighth inning in a game the Padres were trailing 4-0 and presented an all too familiar mixed bag. “We’re trying to get him going,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said Saturday after Lamet allowed three runs on two walks and a hit in two-thirds of an inning. “The stuff’s there. It’s probably just not locating very well. He’s missing with his fastball. A good slider and then a bad slider. The stuff’s really good. Maybe it’s the bullpen and not pitching consistently.
The pitch isn’t spinning as much either, averaging 2,261 rotations per minute after sitting at 2,455 RPMs last year and 2,614 in 2020.
