The Blue Jays have moved left-hander Eric Lauer to the bullpen on a temporary basis.

With Shane Bieber set to enter the rotation for Friday's start in Miami, Lauer will not start this weekend, but will be available out of the bullpen. Jays skipper John Schneider said this will be a "fluid situation" and the move doesn't take Lauer "out of starting contention moving forward." Lauer has impressed with a 2.76 ERA for the Jays this season after struggling across multiple organizations in the 2024 campaign.
