Coughs up three runs
Lauer did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Boston. He allowed three runs on seven hits over 4.1 innings while striking out four.
ANALYSIS
Lauer coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning before Boston plated one more in the fifth. He had given up four runs over his previous 24.1 innings (1.48 ERA) entering Sunday's outing. Lauer went 3-0 during that span but hasn't completed six innings in any appearance this season. Still, he owns a 2.60 ERA with a 45:14 K:BB through 45 frames this season. Lauer's next outing is expected to be at home against the Angels.

Strikeouts may be lower than usual, but there are still a number of pitchers more than capable of doing well this week.

A number of injured veterans have rejoined, or are on the verge of rejoining, American League rosters this week, a group of reinforcements led by New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton.

Ryan Pohle dives into team stacks and pitchers for Wednesday's MLB slate, featuring Kansas City's Kris Bubic in a favorable matchup against the Rangers.

2017
After a few promising seasons between San Diego and Milwaukee, Lauer took a massive step backward in 2023, leading to his departure from the Brewers organization. The left-hander's stuff was down several ticks across the board and he missed time due to a shoulder injury. He was optioned upon activation from the injured list in June and spent time on the Triple-A inactive list due to an undisclosed health issue. Lauer returned to make just one final start on the final weekend of the regular season before being outrighted and opting for free agency in October. While it seemed likely that he was overperforming with sub-3.70 ERAs in 2021 and 2022, the swiftness of his decline was rather surprising. The 28-year-old signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates in March and will likely compete for a rotation spot over what remains of big-league camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Chance to start?
Justin Verlander was placed on the injured list due to neck discomfort Tuesday, and Lauer could be an option to start in the meantime for the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Lauer joined Houston on a minor-league contract in May and has a 6.30 ERA and 1.75 WHIP five outings with Triple-A Sugar Land. The veteran left-hander's contract has an opt-out for July 1 and August 1, so the organization could opt to give him a look in the majors sooner than later despite the poor results.
