Amateur career

Professional career
The Colorado Rockies selected Lambert in the second round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft.[3] He signed with the Rockies and made his professional debut with the Grand Junction Rockies. He pitched in eight games for Grand Junction,[when?] going 0-4 with a 3.45 ERA. Lambert spent 2016 with the Asheville Tourists,[4] where he posted a 5-8 record with a 3.93 ERA. In 2017, Lambert played for the Lancaster JetHawks, pitching to a 9-8 record with a 4.17 ERA in a career high 142.1 innings pitched, and, in 2018, he split time between the Hartford Yard Goats and the Albuquerque Isotopes, going a combined 10-7 with a 3.28 ERA in 26 starts between both teams.[5] He began 2019 back with Albuquerque.[6]
Lambert was promoted to the major leagues by Colorado on June 6, 2019.[7] He made his debut that same day at Wrigley Field versus the Chicago Cubs, giving up one run over seven innings while striking out nine, leading the Rockies to a 3-1 win.[8] In 19 starts for Colorado, Lambert finished with a 3-7 record in 89+1⁄3 innings.
In late July 2020, Lambert underwent Tommy John surgery and would miss the 2020 season. On March 20, 2021, Lambert was placed on the 60-day injured list as he continued to recover from Tommy John surgery.[9] On September 24, Lambert was activated from the injured list. He made two appearances for Colorado in 2021, surrendering 7 runs on 12 hits in 5.2 innings pitched.
In 2022, Lambert only made four appearances all year (all with Albuquerque) due to injury. He was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the 2023 season.[10]
