Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb has been placed on the 10-day disabled list after suffering a sprained left AC joint in the D-backs' 15-inning win over the Dodgers that ended early Tuesday morning.
Lamb, a 2017 All-Star Game selection, originally suffered the injury while diving for a ball in the 9th inning of the game. He appeared to aggravate the injury while diving into home plate to score the game-tying run in the 15th inning. The D-backs went on to win the game 8-7 in what was the longest game in Chase Field history.

And this dive into home, on which he scored the tying run in the 15th, didn't help anything in that shoulder. pic.twitter.com/EW4e71Bomc

Lamb hit .278 with one double and five RBIs in the D-backs' first four games of the 2018 regular season. In Lamb's place, the D-backs have called up relief pitcher Matt Koch from Triple-A Reno.
