Justin Lawrence News
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Justin Lawrence (ankle) was pulled from Friday's game versus the San Francisco Giants due to an ankle injury. The 28-year-old landed awkwardly on his left ankle during his eighth-inning appearance after striking out Joc Pederson, forcing his departure. Right-hander Nick Mears relieved him, but Tyler Kinley figures to be next in line for save chances in the event that the sidearming Lawrence requires time on the mend. Although, manager Bud Black doesn't expect an injured list stint at this time. The Rockies will have to dig deep into their bullpen reserves in the meantime with Daniel Bard (forearm) also currently shelved. Fantasy managers would be scraping the bottom of the barrel if veering into this ninth-inning mix at this juncture of the season for potential saves, but Kinley is worth a look for desperados.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Justin Lawrence blew his fifth save of the season and took the loss in Tuesday's 8-5 game against the Diamondbacks. Lawrence came in to pitch the top of the ninth up by two. He allowed a leadoff single, a double, and a game-tying two-RBI single. He then got the first out on a flyout, allowed a go-ahead RBI double, got the second out on a flyout, and allowed another RBI double before being replaced. His stranded runner eventually came around to score, leaving Lawrence with a final line of five runs on five hits in 2/3 of an inning. The 28-year-old does have 10 saves this season to go with a 3.49 ERA. While the Rockies may not offer a ton of save opportunities, Lawrence does appear to be the arm to roster in deeper roto leagues.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Justin Lawrence picked up his 10th save of the season in Monday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Lawrence came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with three strikeouts. The 28-year-old has settled into the closer's role for the team and has now converted 10 of 14 save opportunities with a 2.76 ERA, a 9.36 K/9 rate, and a 3.99 BB/9 rate. The Rockies may not see a ton of save opportunities and have the disadvantage of playing their home games in Coors Field, but Lawrence's role makes him worth a roster spot in deeper roto leagues at this time.
