Strikes out four in no-decision
Lauer did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Analysis
Lauer gave up two runs over the first two innings but settled in before exiting with a 5-2 lead. He threw 50 of 72 pitches for strikes and continues to provide quality innings for the Blue Jays, allowing more than two earned runs just once in nine appearances as both a starter and bulk reliever. On the year, the southpaw owns a 2.37 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 30.1 innings. Whether his next outing comes as a starter or out of the bullpen remains to be seen.

Set to be piggybacked by Turnbull
Lauer will start Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, though Spencer Turnbull is expected to work behind him as a bulk reliever, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Manager John Schneider said Monday that Turnbull is set to handle a multi-inning role out of the bullpen for Toronto after being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, and Wednesday's contest represents a good opportunity for the Blue Jays to break him in for some extended work. Lauer has been the Blue Jays' nominal No. 5 starter since late April, making two starts and five bulk-relief appearances among his eight outings. The southpaw hasn't covered more than 4.2 innings in any of those appearances, and the Blue Jays are likely to continue to keep his workload in check to optimize his performance. Since Lauer is unlikely to reach five innings Wednesday, Turnbull is the more likely of the two pitchers to factor into the decision.

Collects second win of 2025
Lauer (2-1) earned the win in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Twins, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two across 2.1 scoreless innings.
Analysis
Lauer entered at the beginning of the bottom of the third inning after opener Paxton Schultz gave up three runs through the first two frames. The veteran southpaw was able to keep the Twins off the board during his extended relief appearance, and he got enough run support from the Toronto batters to come away with a win. The 30-year-old has a 2.08 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 26 innings this season. He's tentatively slated to make his next start or bulk-relief appearance against the Cardinals on the road next week.

Likely to follow opener
Lauer is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Paxton Schultz on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Lauer has tossed 7.1 scoreless frames in his past two outings and is set to follow the rookie Schultz for a second consecutive appearance. The veteran left-hander has pitched well as a fill-in rotation piece for Toronto so far this season with a 2.28 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings.
