Lamb (shoulder) set for MRI, but club optimistic

PHOENIX -- Jake Lamb will have the MRI on his injured left shoulder read by noted orthopedic surgeon, James Andrews, and the D-backs third baseman will be examined on Tuesday in Los Angeles by another orthopedic surgeon, Neal ElAttrache.

Lamb injured the shoulder on Thursday while diving for a ball at Wrigley Field. Earlier this year, he injured the same shoulder diving for a popup. That first injury cost Lamb six weeks. This time around, though, the MRI did not show the injury to be as serious when examined by team physician Gary Waslewski.

Getting a couple of other opinions is not a sign that the team is concerned, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said.
