Eric Lauer returns to relief role with Dodgers after Blue Jays tenure

Eric Lauer, previously with the Toronto Blue Jays, is set to take on a relief role with the Los Angeles Dodgers after struggling in 2026. Despite expressing disdain for a similar role in Toronto, Lauer's performance has improved since joining the Dodgers, where he holds a 3.76 ERA. Now, he is expected to support Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki as they start. Lauer's transition back into a piggyback role comes as the Dodgers seek to bolster their rotation depth amidst ongoing challenges.
