Lamb nears return, but Tomas stands in way

PHOENIX -- D-backs manager Chip Hale knows he's going to have decisions to make when third baseman Jake Lamb comes off the disabled list.

That time is quickly approaching, as Lamb nears his return from a left-foot stress fracture he sustained on April 21. In his absence, Yasmany Tomas has filled in nicely at third, raising his batting average to .349 by collecting multiple hits in the last six games of the D-backs' most recent road trip.

"We keep saying we'll cross that bridge when it comes, but it's coming and Yas just keeps swinging," Hale said.
