Remains in organization Lawrence cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment over the weekend by the Mariners for the second time in April, but he'll again stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Lawrence has given up two earned runs with a 1:1 K:BB over five frames in the majors this season and has a 4.35 ERA across 10.1 innings as a starter for Tacoma.

Gets DFA'd again The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Sunday, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports.

Impact Lawrence was designated for assignment Monday but cleared waivers and rejoined the organization Wednesday before being recalled to the big club Friday. He pitched in back-to-back contests Friday and Saturday, allowing an unearned run over two hitless innings. His removal from the roster again Sunday corresponds with fellow hurler Sauryn Lao getting his first major-league call-up.

Rejoins big club The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment and outrighted to Tacoma earlier this week, but he'll quickly rejoin Seattle's major-league roster. Lawrence allowed two earned runs over three innings during his lone big-league appearance this year and has a 4.35 ERA in two starts at Triple-A.

Clears waivers The Mariners outrighted Lawrence to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact After going unclaimed off waivers when he was dropped from the 40-man roster Monday, the 37-year-old right-hander will stick around in the organization as rotation depth at Triple-A. Lawrence worked out of the bullpen in his lone appearance with Seattle, giving up two earned runs over three innings while scooping up a win in a 7-6 victory over the Astros last Wednesday.

Dismissed from 40-man roster The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Monday.

Impact Lawrence will be moved off the 40-man roster and will surrender his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Troy Taylor (lat), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. After receiving a call-up from Triple-A Tacoma last Wednesday, Lawrence made one relief appearance for Seattle and gave up two earned runs on four hits and one walk over three innings.

Added to roster The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact Lawrence had made two starts with Tacoma this season, allowing five runs with an 8:3 K:BB over 10.1 innings. The veteran righty will give Seattle some length in the bullpen.

Added to roster The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact Lawrence had made two starts with Tacoma this season, allowing five runs with an 8:3 K:BB over 10.1 innings. The veteran righty will give Seattle some length in the bullpen for now, but he could get a look as the club's No. 5 starter if Luis F. Castillo is unable to hold down a back-end rotation spot while George Kirby (shoulder) remains on the injured list.

APRIL 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minor-league camp The Mariners reassigned Lawrence to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Impact Lawrence re-signed with Seattle in November on a minor-league deal that included an invitation to big-league spring training, but the 37-year-old righty never appeared especially likely to win a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. He's previously seen big-league action in parts of four seasons from 2017 through 2023, logging a lifetime 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 124 innings.

MARCH 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking with Mariners The Mariners signed Lawrence to a minor-league contract Friday, per the MLB's transaction log.

Impact Lawrence participated in spring training for the Mariners this past March, and he'll likely do so again after agreeing to yet another minor-league deal with Seattle. The 37-year-old right-hander spent the entire 2024 regular season with Triple-A Tacoma, registering an 11-11 record over 29 starts with a 5.95 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 108:48 K:BB over 165 innings.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to open market Lawrence cleared outright waivers Thursday and elected to become a free agent.

Impact Lawrence struggled to a 6.59 ERA in 27.1 innings of relief this season with the Cardinals. The 35-year-old right-hander will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract if he wants to continue his playing career.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns extra-innings win Lawrence (1-0) allowed two walks and struck out one over two scoreless and hitless innings to earn the extra-innings win over the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Lawrence got the ball in the 10th inning and stayed in for the 11th after the Cardinals pulled ahead. This was just his fourth scoreless appearance in 11 outings since he joined the Cardinals in mid-August, though he has been better in shorter assignments. Lawrence has a mediocre 5.64 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB through 22.1 innings while adding four holds.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Selected to MLB roster St. Louis selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact Lawrence has posted an underwhelming 4.76 ERA and 90:31 K:BB in 104 innings this season between the Triple-A affiliates of the Blue Jays and Cardinals. The veteran right-hander will likely operate in a mop-up role.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inks MiLB deal with Cards Lawrence signed a minor-league contract with the Cardinals on Thursday.

Impact After opting out of his deal with Toronto on Sunday, Lawrence will remain on a minor-league deal with the Cardinals. The 35-year-old righty hasn't been anything special in Triple-A this season, putting up a 4.67 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 90.2 frames. Subpar minor-league stats and a poor MLB track record make it unlikely Lawrence sees the majors in 2023.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opts out of minors deal Lawrence was released by the Blue Jays on Sunday, Eric Treuden of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Treuden notes that Lawrence exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and is in talks with the Cardinals and Yankees on a new contract. Lawrence, 35, has spent all of this season at Triple-A Buffalo, posting a 4.67 ERA in 18 starts.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to minor-league camp Lawrence was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Blue Jays on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lawrence was signed to a minor-league contract in January with an invite to major-league camp. The right-hander gave up four runs in eight innings over four Grapefruit League appearances, and he'll be a bullpen depth option in 2023. It's unclear if he'll work as a reliever or starter with Triple-A Buffalo after starting 37 of his 48 minor-league appearances over the last two years.

Re-ups with Blue Jays Lawrence re-signed with the Blue Jays on a minor-league contract Monday.

Impact Lawrence spent most of last season at Triple-A Buffalo but did return to the majors for the first time since 2018 in making six relief appearances. The 35-year-old will represent some swingman depth.

Sent to minors Lawrence was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Impact Lawrence had a brief stint with the major-league club to close out the regular season but was left off the Blue Jays' wild-card roster. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster now that the season is complete.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from wild-card roster Lawrence is not on the Blue Jays' 26-man wild-card roster, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lawrence was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday for the team's doubleheader with the Orioles, pitching 2.1 innings while allowing one run on three hits and a walk. The 34-year-old was unsurprisingly not chosen for the postseason roster after posting a 7.50 ERA over six appearances in the big leagues this season.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Up for doubleheader The Blue Jays recalled Lawrence from Triple-A Buffalo and appointed him as their 29th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

Impact Reliever Trevor Richards is scheduled to serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Game 1, but Lawrence is expected to enter the contest behind and will likely serve as a bulk reliever for Toronto. Lawrence has made each of his five appearances with Toronto this season out of the bullpen, but he had been a member of the Buffalo rotation prior to his call-up. He closed the Triple-A season by covering at least five innings in six of his final seven outings while generating a 3.90 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB across 32.1 frames.
