Eric Lauer thrives with Dodgers after leaving Blue Jays

Eric Lauer has emerged as a key contributor for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, winning every game he has appeared in since joining from the Toronto Blue Jays. After voicing dissatisfaction with how he was used by Blue Jays manager John Schneider, Lauer's success has come in a traditional starting role, contrasting with the opener strategy employed by Toronto. The Dodgers have utilized Lauer effectively, allowing him to start games without following an opener, and he has expressed that the team wins when he starts. His performance reflects a shift in approach that could provide insights into pitcher management strategies in Major League Baseball.
