Lawrence cleared waivers Friday and elected free agency, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was cast off Toronto's 40-man roster Wednesday, already marking the fourth time he's been designated for assignment this season. He'll elect to enter the open market this time around -- perhaps in search of a landing spot that might provide a bit more stability. He owns a 4.97 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with a 5:1 K:BB through 12.2 innings.

The Blue Jays designated Lawrence for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence helped save the bullpen with 2.2 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox, but he's being sent packing after just one day on the active roster. Eric Lauer was called up from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move and is expected to either start or serve as a bulk reliever in Wednesday's game against Boston.

The Blue Jays claimed Lawrence off waivers from the Mariners on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto has plenty of familiarity with Lawrence, a 37-year-old journeyman who signed with the Blue Jays as an undrafted free agent in 2010 before he reached the big leagues for the first time in 2017. Before being designated for assignment by Seattle over the weekend, Lawrence had filled a swingman role in the majors and at Triple-A Tacoma, making four relief appearances for the big club and two starts in the minors. Since he has no minor-league options remaining, Lawrence will join Toronto ahead of its three-game series with the Red Sox that begins Tuesday, but it's not immediately clear whether he'll work out of the bullpen or slot into the rotation. The Blue Jays have a starting spot open for Wednesday after demoting Easton Lucas, who had been filling in for the injured Max Scherzer (thumb).

The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third time Lawrence has been DFA'd by the Mariners since his contract was initially selected from Triple-A Tacoma on April 9. He's appeared in four games for Seattle and has a 3.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 10 innings. Lawrence was outrighted to Tacoma after the first two times he was DFA'd by the Mariners and will likely follow the same route this time around unless a team opts to claim him off waivers.

The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was just outrighted off the 40-man roster Tuesday but is back again to provide length in the bullpen. The veteran right-hander has permitted two earned runs with a 1:1 K:BB over five frames in the majors this season.

Lawrence cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was designated for assignment over the weekend by the Mariners for the second time in April, but he'll again stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Lawrence has given up two earned runs with a 1:1 K:BB over five frames in the majors this season and has a 4.35 ERA across 10.1 innings as a starter for Tacoma.

The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Sunday, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was designated for assignment Monday but cleared waivers and rejoined the organization Wednesday before being recalled to the big club Friday. He pitched in back-to-back contests Friday and Saturday, allowing an unearned run over two hitless innings. His removal from the roster again Sunday corresponds with fellow hurler Sauryn Lao getting his first major-league call-up.

The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was designated for assignment and outrighted to Tacoma earlier this week, but he'll quickly rejoin Seattle's major-league roster. Lawrence allowed two earned runs over three innings during his lone big-league appearance this year and has a 4.35 ERA in two starts at Triple-A.

The Mariners outrighted Lawrence to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After going unclaimed off waivers when he was dropped from the 40-man roster Monday, the 37-year-old right-hander will stick around in the organization as rotation depth at Triple-A. Lawrence worked out of the bullpen in his lone appearance with Seattle, giving up two earned runs over three innings while scooping up a win in a 7-6 victory over the Astros last Wednesday.

The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence will be moved off the 40-man roster and will surrender his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Troy Taylor (lat), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. After receiving a call-up from Triple-A Tacoma last Wednesday, Lawrence made one relief appearance for Seattle and gave up two earned runs on four hits and one walk over three innings.
