Lamb is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Madison Bumgarner and the Giants.

Analysis:

As was the case last time Arizona faced a left-handed starter, Chris Owings will join the lineup as the starting second baseman, with Aaron Hill shifting over to the hot corner. Despite his terrific start to the season, Lamb doesn't figure to get many at-bats against southpaws, after struggling badly against them in a very limited sample size (22 at-bats) in 2014.
