Availability
Blue Jays left-hander Eric Lauer racked up nine strikeouts as part of a winning effort in a 5-2 win over the visiting Athletics on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Lauer continued the strikeout parade for Blue Jays starters in the season-opening series against the Athletics, punching out nine over his 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball on Sunday. He yielded three hits and walked one. The southpaw is in the starting rotation with Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, and Jose Berrios all on the injured list to begin the season, but with more performances like Sunday, Lauer could fend off the competition and keep a spot in the rotation into the summer.
Eric Lauer is scheduled to start the third game of the regular season on the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Lauer will take the hill at home against the Athletics for manager John Schneider, with the left-hander expected to fill a starting slot with Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, and Jose Berrios sidelined to begin the season. The 30-year-old posted a 1.11 WHIP and 3.18 ERA in 28 appearances (9-2, 102 strikeouts) for the Blue Jays during the 2025 season.
Eric Lauer will start for the Blue Jays on Thursday against the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Lauer will take the mound against Chris Sale and Atlanta. It had been expected to be Dylan Cease. He will now pitch in a sim game instead.
Eric Lauer will start on the mound for the Grapefruit League opener for the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday the club announced.
Fantasy Impact
Lauer takes the mound first for manager John Schneider, as the left-hander could turn a solid spring into meaningful innings early in the season as part of a Toronto pitching staff that could be missing Shane Bieber (forearm).
Blue Jays left-hander Eric Lauer has lost his arbitration case against the club.
Fantasy Impact
Lauer will earn $4.4 million this season instead of the $5.75 million he filed for. Manager John Scheider told the media on Tuesday that Lauer will be stretched out as a starter in spring training but he will be hard-pressed to crack the club's deep rotation after adding Dylan Cease in the offseason, while Shane Bieber exercised his player option to return to the club in 2026.
