Wins team debut Lauer (2-5) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rockies.

Impact Lauer took advantage of a favorable matchup and submitted his first quality start of the season. He also picked up his first win since March 29 versus the Athletics. Lauer has pitched to a 5.95 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 30:17 K:BB through 42.1 innings over nine appearances (seven starts) between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays this season. Lauer looks to have a chance to stick in the Dodgers' six-man rotation, at least until Tyler Glasnow (back) returns, which is likely a couple of weeks away at a minimum. Lauer's next outing is tentatively projected to be on the road in Arizona.

Team debut coming Tuesday Lauer is slated to make his team debut in a start Tuesday against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Acquired from the Blue Jays last Sunday, Lauer went unused during his first week of the Dodgers but will move into the team's six-man rotation Tuesday after Los Angeles recently lost Blake Snell (elbow) to the injured list. After serving as a key depth piece in the rotation and bullpen for Toronto in 2025, Lauer was unable to replicate those results this season, posting a 6.69 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 36.1 innings in eight appearances (six starts) before being dealt to Los Angeles. The veteran southpaw will get a soft landing spot in his first appearance as a Dodger, facing off against a Rockies squad that entered Sunday ranking last in the majors with a 68 wRC+ against left-handed pitching.

Viewed as starter Lauer is expected to start games for the Dodgers, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Impact Lauer was dealt from the Blue Jays to the Dodgers on Sunday for cash considerations, and while it initially sounded as though his new club would deploy him out of the bullpen, general manager Brandon Gomes clarified Monday that the team intends to utilize him in a starting role as part of a six-man rotation. It's not yet clear when the southpaw will make his first start for LA, as he'll presumably be given a few days to get acclimated, but Katie Woo of The Athletic notes that Lauer could enter the rotation at some point after the road trip.

Expected to be used out of bullpen Lauer is expected to be used primarily as a relief pitcher with the Dodgers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lauer will join Los Angeles after posting an inflated 6.69 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 36.1 innings in eight appearances, including six starts, with Toronto this year. The 30-year-old will be used as a reliever/swingman according to new manager Dave Roberts, likely setting him up for an occasional start. With Blake Snell (elbow) set to be sidelined for multiple months, Lauer will give the Dodgers a new left-handed option on the mound moving forward.

Shipped to LAD The Dodgers acquired Lauer from the Blue Jays on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact The veteran left-hander was designated for assignment by Toronto on Monday but was able to land with the reigning World Series champions.
