Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher John Lamb will begin next season on the disabled list after undergoing surgery to repair a lumbar disc herniation.
This makes two consecutive years Lamb begins the year on the shelf due to rehab from back surgery. His 2016 was cut short due to a flexor mass strain, but he hadn't been doing too well, either way.
Lamb recorded a 6.43 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 18.2 strikeout percentage across 70 innings of work this season, all of which represent regression from his rookie year.
