The Arizona Diamondbacks' hopes for a return to the playoffs took a hit with star third baseman Jake Lamb dealing with an injury to his rotator cuff.
According to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said the injury is fraying in the rotator cuff that may require surgery. However, he granted there could be other options that would prevent him from missing the remainder of the 2018 campaign.
Paul Goldschmidt is the face of the Diamondbacks, but Lamb quickly established himself as an excellent No. 2 thanks to his breakout performance in 2016.
