Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Eric Lauer, 30-year-old left-handed pitcher, has struggled significantly in 2026 after a solid 2025 season with the Toronto Blue Jays. Designated for assignment by Toronto on May 11 with a 1-5 record and 6.69 ERA over 8 appearances (6 starts), Lauer was subsequently acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 17 for cash. His velocity is down across all pitches compared to 2025, and he has been giving up excessive home runs. Despite expressing frustration with managerial usage, Lauer has accepted a flexible role. The Dodgers acquired him as depth amid their injury-plagued pitching staff.
