Dodgers Acquire Left-Hander Eric Lauer From Blue Jays
The Dodgers traded for veteran left-hander Eric Lauer after losing two starters to injury. The team will add Lauer to its six-man rotation once he clears waivers.
nypost.comLauer posted a 6.69 ERA in eight appearances this season. Last year he recorded a 3.18 ERA in 28 outings for the Blue Jays.
Glasnow went on the injured list with back spasms and Blake Snell underwent elbow surgery. The moves left the club short of starters less than two months into the season. Dodgers officials said Lauer would join the six-man rotation once added to the active roster. They described him as a short-term option while they monitor other pitchers.
The team also discussed right-hander River Ryan, who remains in Triple-A. Ryan threw 100.9 mph in his most recent outing but has not pitched more than four innings in any start this year. Officials said they want Ryan to build stamina before a possible call-up.
They noted he is still recovering from Tommy John surgery performed after the 2024 season. Other depth options remain unavailable. Gavin Stone is limited to catch play after shoulder surgery, while Landon Knack and Bobby Miller are on the 60-day injured list.
