Blue Jays add Lauer, Rodriguez to start vs. Red Sox
The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled Eric Lauer from triple-A Buffalo for Wednesday’s game against the Boston Red Sox.
The Toronto Blue Jays continue to tinker with the rotation to cover innings.
On Wednesday, the Blue Jays selected the contract for left-hander Eric Lauer from triple-A Buffalo. Veteran Casey Lawrence was designated for assignment to make room for Lauer on the roster.
Wednesday’s start against the Red Sox was always going to be a bullpen day but, as Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi explained, the Blue Jays’ bullpen was used more than expected after Bowden Francis only went three innings in Tuesday’s loss.

Yariel Rodriguez will start for Wednesday’s game, which means Lauer could be used in a bulk relief role.
The left-hander has made five starts with Buffalo this season, recording a 4.50 ERA with 21 strikeouts and six walks over 24 innings. Lauer has not appeared in the majors since 2023.
Lawrence was cut by the Blue Jays just two days after joining the team off waivers from the Seattle Mariners. He went 2.2 innings against Boston, allowing six hits and three runs.
