Lamb rests shoulder after cortisone injection

PHOENIX -- D-backs third baseman Jake Lamb still has some inflammation in his left shoulder and will be shut down for a couple of days after receiving a cortisone shot Thursday.

"He was experiencing a little bit of discomfort [Thursday] in his left shoulder, which was the area of his original injury," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said.

Lamb sprained the AC joint of the left shoulder while diving for a foul pop April 2. He was placed on the disabled list the next day.

It appeared he might be close to returning a little more than a week ago, but he had some pain in his right elbow that turned out to be tendinitis.
