Lamb (quadricep) will serve as the
Giants' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Before striking out in his lone at-bat as a reserve DH in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Royals, Lamb hadn't played since Feb. 27 while managing a left quad strain. He hasn't resumed playing defense, but his presence in the starting lineup Sunday suggests the quad injury isn't anything that will make or break his chances of winning a spot on the Opening Day roster. Lamb is attending Giants camp as a non-roster invitee after signing a minor-league deal in January.
