The widely used low-order Brueckner (LOB) scheme for calculating the bindin
g energy of the Lambda hyperon in nuclear matter, B-Lambda, is discussed. T
wo corrections to B-Lambda are considered: the rearrangement energy and the
effect of replacing the LOB spectrum of the single particle Lambda energie
s in the intermediate states of the reaction matrix equation by a continuou
s spectrum. It is shown that the two corrections approximately cancel.
