Blue Jays' Eric Lauer: Could get another shot in rotation
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Lauer is an option to start Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox in place of the injured Max Scherzer (forearm/ankle), Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The Blue Jays announced over the weekend that Lauer would shift to the bullpen to accommodate the return of Trey Yesavage (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list. Lauer has yet to make a relief appearance since that announcement, and he could immediately slide back into the rotation when Scherzer's turn comes up. Any reappointment to the rotation could be short-lived for Lauer, however, with Jose Berrios (elbow) nearing a return from the injured list. The left-handed Lauer owns a 6.75 ERA and 1.54 WHIP alongside a 19:12 K:BB across 22.2 innings this season.
