Eric Lauer News
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer, who was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in mid-June, hasn't pitched since his demotion. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the 28-year-old is dealing with an undisclosed health issue, and the team placed him on the inactive list on Thursday. There's no timetable for Lauer's return. Across 42.2 innings at the big league level, the 28-year-old posted a 4-5 record, 5.48 ERA, and 1.52 WHIP with 41 strikeouts after a successful 2022 campaign in which he produced a 3.69 ERA with 11 wins. Lauer was already pretty irrelevant in fantasy leagues, but now he should be dropped everywhere.
Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Lauer has been dealing with a left shoulder impingement, which had sidelined him on May 20 but it's nice to see him trending in the right direction. The southpaw put up an ugly 5.48 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 41:20 K/BB ratio across 42 2/3 innings (eight starts) before going down with the injury. He'll need a few tuneup starts before he's ready to return to the big league club so he should be back with the Brewers sometime in mid-June, barring a setback.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday. The left-hander made his return to the rotation on Saturday. Sadly, it didn't go as planned, Lauer allowed six runs over three-plus innings of work. He'll now head to the injured list with a left shoulder impingement. The organization hasn't given a timetable on Lauer's return. In a corresponding move, right-hander Tyson Miller has been recalled from the minors to take Lauer's spot on the roster.

Eric Lauer had a solid season in 2022 with an 11-7 W-L record, 3.69 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 157 Ks in 29 starts (158.2 IP). For the second straight year, Lauer outperformed his underlying numbers as he had a 4.02 xERA, 4.08 xFIP and 4.07 SIERA. None of Lauer's numbers stand out with a 23.8% K% which ranked in the 58th percentile and an 8.9% BB% which ranked in the 34th percentile. Lauer's 31.9% FB% was significantly higher than the league average (23.1% FB) and his 14.1% HR/FB was tied-11th highest among all pitchers (62) with 150.0+ IP last year. Put that together with the below average walk-rate, a home field that had the seventh highest home run ballpark factor and an 8.0% Barrel% (36th percentile), having a 3.69 ERA was a big achievement. But Lauer has proven to be a reliable option who has only spent 14 days on the IL for non-Covid issues in the last four years and if he is able to limit the flyballs, there's certainly room for growth. As it is, volume is key for Lauer to provide value on his ADP of ~267 (77th starting pitcher) and even if we do see some regression, as long as he tops 150.0 IP, Lauer can be a solid late-round fantasy option.
