Eric Lauer

The Blue Jays designated Eric Lauer for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Lauer loses his spot on the Blue Jays 40-man roster following his struggles to start the season. It is still possible he draws some interest on waivers.

Eric Lauer will pitch in a bulk relief role on Sunday against the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Lauer is remaining in the rotation for now with Jose Berrios not ready to be activated.

Eric Lauer will remain in the Blue Jays starting rotation "for now."

Fantasy Impact

Jose Berrios is going for an MRI on Tuesday after feeling a little more sore than expected after his last start. Lauer will keep his spot in the rotation for now as a result.

Eric Lauer is scheduled to throw a "velo bullpen" this week.

Fantasy Impact

Lauer will try to max out his velocity in a bullpen. There should be an update later in the week.

Blue Jays left-hander Eric Lauer pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run while taking a no-decision in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Lauer re-entered the starting pitching mix on Wednesday after being moved to the bullpen and held the Red Sox in check. His lone blemish was a first-inning solo home run from Willson Contreras, as Lauer scattered five hits while walking one and striking out one on the evening. It's unclear if Lauer, who sports a 6.00 ERA in six outings (five starts) this season, will get another turn in the rotation with Jose Berrios (elbow) set to return sometime next week.
