Lambo was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Friday.

Analysis:

Lambo, who made the Pirates' opening day roster last season, spent the majority of the year on the disabled list due to plantar fasciitis. In 20 games before landing on the DL, Lambo went 1-for-25 with eight strikeouts. He will likely compete for an outfield spot in Spring Training.
