Eric Lauer News
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer performed well on Thursday as he fired five-shutout frames in the team's 4-2 loss to the Marlins. The lefty struck out nine batters on the night, including four straight to begin the game, without walking a batter and allowing just one single in his 71-pitch effort. He was in line for the win until the bullpen blew it in the late innings, but it was good to see him dominate after struggling in his first game back off the IL last week. Lauer will take a 3.83 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into his final start of the season in a home showdown with the Diamondbacks.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer (elbow) is trending towards coming off the injured list to start on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds on the first day he's eligible to return. Lauer is throwing his second bullpen session on Tuesday, and barring a setback, it looks like he'll return to Milwaukee's rotation to begin a weekend series against Cincinnati. The 27-year-old southpaw last started on Sept. 7, when he surrendered seven earned runs on six hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out four in just 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Without going on a minor league rehab assignment, Lauer will be a bit risky as a fantasy option, even against the lowly Reds. In 26 starts in 2022, he's gone 10-7 with a 3.91 ERA (4.74 FIP), a 1.25 WHIP, 138 K's and 52 walks in 145 innings pitched.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed Eric Lauer (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. He underwent an MRI Thursday, which revealed "encouraging" results. The 27-year-old will miss at least the next two weeks and is eligible to return on September 23. He owns a 10-7 record with a 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 138 strikeouts across 145 innings in 2022. Milwaukee recalled Trevor Kelley recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers with an IL spot should continue to stash Lauer.

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.
